Policies and legal documents

Every document governing your use of Generation Network ( privacy, terms, purchases, subscriptions, acceptable use, and health data ) collected in one place, deep-linkable to the exact clause you need.

DEVELOPMENT-STAGE NOTICE: Generation Network is currently in active development and testing. Certain architectural components described below (server infrastructure, specific third-party integrations, the advertising system, multi-provider AI support) reflect the Developer's target design and are being rolled out progressively. Where a component is not yet active, the data processing attributed to it in this document does not actually occur. The Developer commits to updating and bringing this document group into force in line with the actual technical state before general public release.

01 — Privacy Policy & Data Protection Notice

Generation Network (code name: Genepool) · Effective date: October 18, 2026

Prepared under Turkey's Law on Protection of Personal Data No. 6698 ("KVKK"), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, "GDPR"), and the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA").

§1 Identity of the Data Controller

Data Controller: Baran Akyol (natural person, individual app developer; "the Developer" or "We"). Official requests: [email protected]. Data protection: [email protected]. General contact: [email protected]. Trade registry/MERSİS number and registered electronic mail (KEP) address: none. Website: generationnetwork.app.

VERBİS: under the exemption criteria set by decisions of Turkey's Personal Data Protection Board, we are not required to register with VERBİS (the Turkish Data Controllers' Registry): as a data controller resident in Turkey, we have fewer than 50 employees per year and an annual balance-sheet total below TRY 100 million; even if our main activity were considered to be the processing of special-category personal data, we fall below the thresholds in the Board's Decision No. 2025/1572 of 4 September 2025 (fewer than 10 employees per year and an annual balance-sheet total below TRY 10 million). If these thresholds are exceeded, the registration obligation will be fulfilled in time. The VERBİS exemption does not remove our information, data-security, and other obligations under KVKK.

Note on team and personnel references: Any reference in this Policy or related documents to a "team", "personnel", "department", or similar term is, as of the effective date of this Policy, to be understood as referring solely to the Developer (Baran Akyol) individually. Should the Developer in the future engage personnel, representatives, or contractors to assist in operating the App, such persons automatically fall within the scope of these terms without requiring a further amendment to this Policy.

Regional applicability: This Privacy Policy applies to all users. Additional rights under KVKK apply to users in Turkey, GDPR to users in the EU/EEA, and CCPA/CPRA to users in the United States, as set out in the relevant sections below. Where a regional provision conflicts with a general provision, the regional provision prevails.

General note on legal references: References to KVKK, GDPR, or other legislation next to specific provisions are illustrative only. The absence of a reference to a specific law or region next to a provision does not mean that provision is inapplicable in other jurisdictions. This Policy is interpreted together with the data-protection and privacy law applicable to the relevant user; in case of conflict, the mandatory local law applicable to that user prevails.

This Policy applies to everyone who uses the "Generation Network" mobile application ("the App") and explains how personal data is collected, processed, stored, transferred, and deleted.

§2 Data Storage Architecture — Core Principle

Generation Network is built on a privacy-first, server-free architecture. Its core principles are:

  • Personal data belonging to the user is permanently stored only on the user's own device, in an encrypted local database (SQLCipher — AES-256) and in the operating system's secure storage (flutter_secure_storage).
  • The Developer does not permanently store user data in any cloud database or on the server side.
  • Data is transmitted to the server side only temporarily, for specific real-time operations — primarily AI model calls, authentication, moderation notifications, and payment verification. The content of these transmissions leaves no permanent trace in the Developer's infrastructure once the operation is complete; any temporary data retained for routing purposes is deleted within 30 days at the latest. Exception: traffic (metadata) records that contain no message content and that must be retained under Turkish Law No. 5651 and KVKK Art. 5(2)(ç) are retained as described, and for the periods stated, in §3.9-D.
  • Advertising SDK integration: the App includes the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob) and Google's User Messaging Platform (consent) library. These components run on the user's device and communicate directly with Google; the conditions in §1-A.7 (Terms of Sale) and §3-B.2(v) apply. The only other ad-related processing is the Developer's own ("house") ad system, which records nothing but aggregate counters that contain no user identity (see §1-A.7.8). The App does not include third-party analytics (user-behavior tracking) tools; Firebase's analytics component (Google Analytics for Firebase) is not present in the App. The third-party components included in the App and their purposes are: Firebase Cloud Messaging for delivering push notifications (§3.10), Firebase Crashlytics for crash and error reports (§3.14-A), Talsec freeRASP for the runtime security check for users of Bring Your Own API and Model within Model (§3.14-B), and Google Play Integrity for app and device integrity verification (§3.14-C).
  • Important clarification — this principle is not absolute. "The Developer does not permanently store user data" describes the general rule for content data (chats, Reflection profiles, memories, life stories, health/activity data), which is genuinely held only on-device. It does not mean the Developer's infrastructure retains no server-side record whatsoever. As explained throughout this Policy — and in particular in §3-G (identity verification & guardian recovery infrastructure), §3.7-A/§3.7-B (letter and SMS routing), §3.8 (subscription/quota tracking), §3.9 (moderation, legal-compliance, and payment-service-provider records), §3.9-D (statutory traffic/metadata records), §3.10 (push-notification device records and scheduled notifications), and §3.12 (emails sent to the Developer) — certain limited categories of data, such as identity identifiers used for message routing or PSP (payment service provider) verification, and records required for subscription management, fraud prevention, or legal/regulatory processes requiring heightened moderation, may be held in a server-side database. This server-side retention is never indefinite: such records are deleted once they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected, subject to the specific retention periods stated in the relevant sections below and to mandatory legal-retention obligations.

Server architecture — hybrid model and legal exceptions: while the App is designed on a fundamentally serverless basis, a transition to conventional server infrastructure is contemplated under certain conditions, including: (a) premium subscription processing, payment verification, and subscription management; (b) cooperation with competent authorities required under the Turkish Penal Code, counter-terrorism legislation, child-protection provisions, or other mandatory legal obligations; (c) technical interventions deemed necessary to address serious security breaches, fraud, or abuse of the service. Which operations run serverless versus through conventional server infrastructure may change over time depending on legal requirements, technical needs, and product-development dynamics. The Developer commits to exercising this choice consistently with the data-minimization principle permitted under Turkish law, GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA.

  • For user matching and similarity analysis, vector representations of user profile data may be temporarily transmitted to a processing server; no permanent record is kept on the server once this operation completes. See §3.5.5 for details.

This architecture means users retain full control over holding and deleting their data. Losing the device or uninstalling the App carries the risk that the Developer cannot recover permanent on-device data; see §9.

§2-A Architecture: Local-First and Minimal Relay Server

Generation Network is designed to keep your data on your own device wherever possible. Your digital reflection, memories, experiences, and learning history are stored in an encrypted (SQLCipher) local database on your device and are not transmitted to our servers by default. Our servers function as a minimal "relay" layer handling only the coordination tasks required for the Service to work — authentication, cross-device synchronization, and matching/delivery between users — and do not permanently store your personal content beyond these limited tasks. This approach is inspired by the "servers do not retain data" principle of security-focused communication systems such as Signal. This principle applies to message content: the Developer provides content confidentiality but makes no promise of anonymity or of leaving "no trace"; for the traffic (metadata) records kept under legal obligation, see §3.9-D.

The classification below is current and binding as of the effective date of this Policy, independent of any general statements that may appear elsewhere in it; the relevant feature-specific sections (§3.5.5-A, §3.7-A, §3.7-C, §3.7-D, §3.5.7-B, etc.) should be read together with it.

1. End-to-end encrypted: Web2 Similarity Analysis match content (see §3.5.5-A); Letter (including steganographic postcards), Telegraph, and SMS message content — always. The App never sends this content unencrypted: if an encrypted connection with the recipient cannot be established (e.g., the other party has not opened the app since this feature went live, or there is a temporary connection problem), the message is held only on your device, in the encrypted local database, retried automatically for up to 3 days, and cancelled if it cannot be sent within that time; you are then shown a notification and no Stamp is charged (a prepaid Stamp is refunded, and SMS credit is refunded). For letters and postcards, a "message franking" proof that does not decrypt the content is additionally generated; it is used only if the recipient reports a message, and only with the recipient's consent (see §3.9-E).

2. Not end-to-end encrypted, but not permanently retained on the server (temporary relay): Broadcast Letter and Live Chat; this content is held temporarily on our servers — accessible only through authorized system access — until delivery/completion, and is automatically deleted upon delivery or within 2 days at the latest. The following features have their own specific holding periods: standalone postcards, One-Way Simulation ("Reflection") results, and simulation stories are automatically deleted from the server within 3 days at the latest if the recipient has not retrieved them (see §3.7, §3.5.7-B, and §3.5.7-C); a Broadcast Letter, which is shown to recipients selected by the system rather than delivered to a single expected recipient, is held on the server for the publication period chosen by its author (7/30/365 days; see §3.7-C). For Broadcast Letter, the relevant portions of your interests/personality summary are additionally processed in plain text on the server during matching, so we can determine who writes to you (see §3.7-C); for candidates not selected, this data is discarded, without permanent storage, once the matching request ends.

3. Permanently retained on the server (necessary for the Service to function and for legal compliance): authentication records, payment/accounting records (for the period required by applicable law), support/complaint request records, signals related to your account's security/risk status, push-notification device records (until you turn notifications off or uninstall the App; see §3.10), emails you send to the Developer (see §3.12), and statutory traffic (metadata) records that contain no message content (see §3.9-D — these records only wait temporarily on the server; the permanent copy is kept in a secure, off-server record system accessible only to personnel authorized by the Developer).

Once an end-to-end encrypted message reaches and is decrypted on your device, it may — based on your own choices (via your privacy settings) — be incorporated into your digital reflection's learning process or processed by our AI-assisted analysis features; this is a separate data flow under your control and is outside the scope of our end-to-end encryption guarantee (see §3.5.3 and §3.5.8).

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — data minimization); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f), Art.25 (data protection by design). This section does not introduce a new category of data processing; it is the concrete, feature-level expression of the general architecture principle in §2 as applied to messaging and matching features.

§3 Data Collected, Legal Bases, and Purposes — the App processes the following categories of personal data. Legal basis, purpose, and retention period are stated separately for each category.

§3.1 Account & Profile Data

Data collected: username, password hashed with bcrypt/Argon2 (never stored in plaintext), phone number, date of birth, and age calculated from it.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (performance of a contract); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) — necessary for account creation, authentication, and service delivery.

Purpose: account creation and management, secure login, age verification (18+ policy — see §3-A and §7), password reset, account-security notifications.

Storage: held in the encrypted local database on-device. On the Developer's server side, your account is represented only by the irreversible cryptographic identity number (kimlik_no) and Ed25519 public key described in §3-G; as of the effective date of this Policy, your phone number, email address, password, or any hash of them is not sent to the Developer's servers for authentication. If this architecture changes in future, the relevant data category will be added to this section and notified under §10.

Retention: for as long as the account remains active; permanently deleted within 30 days of account deletion, subject to legal obligations (e.g., tax records).

Derived data: a zodiac sign and a "generation" label (X/Y/Z/Baby Boomer-style) may be derived automatically, entirely on-device, from the date of birth to personalize the user experience. These derived tags are an extension of the date-of-birth data, do not constitute a separate collection activity, and are subject to the same legal basis as the date of birth (KVKK Art.5/2-c; GDPR Art.6(1)(b)).

§3.2 Location Data

Data collected: GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), city and country, obtained from the device via the geolocator and geocoding libraries.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/1 (explicit consent); GDPR Art.6(1)(a). Location data is sensitive in nature and is processed only with separate, informed, and revocable consent.

Purpose: to build the geographic context of the user's digital characters within the simulated social network, and to power location-based simulation features and regional content.

Collection method: location data under this section is captured only at the moment of a user-initiated "check-in" (Profile > Frequent Places, including the local culture analysis button, see §3.15-B). In addition, only if location permission has already been granted and the device's location service is on, the current location is taken under the Current Context feature described in §3.2-A when the App is opened and when it is brought to the foreground after a longer break (at most once every 30 minutes). No continuous or background location tracking takes place; the App does not request any new location permission for this purpose.

Transmission for real-network letter delivery: the location/country information stated on your profile is no longer used solely to display your profile — where a letter is sent over the real (non-simulated) network, this information is also transmitted to the recipient's device so the App can calculate the letter's delivery/waiting time, as described in §3.7-A and §3.7-B. If this information is missing, incomplete, or cannot be determined, the system applies the longest available waiting period (7 hours) as a conservative, security-oriented default.

Storage: city/country information is kept encrypted on-device together with the user's profile. It is transmitted to the server only for the following purposes: (i) the delivery-time calculation described above; (ii) if you have enabled push notifications, storage of the country stated on your profile together with your notification device record, so that the arrival time of letters sent to you can be calculated in the same way as in the App; and (iii) when you send a letter, display of the country stated on your profile in the "letter on its way" and "letter arrived" notifications sent to the recipient, and its retention on the server for this purpose for no more than 3 days (see §3.10). City information and GPS coordinates are not transmitted to the server for these notification purposes.

Retention: stored on-device until updated by the user or until account deletion.

§3.2-A — Current Context (Live Location and Surroundings)

What is collected: when the App is opened and when it is brought to the foreground after a longer break (at most once every 30 minutes), the following is collected on your device: (i) your current location, only if location permission has already been granted and the location service is on; the coordinates are converted into district, province and country names by reverse geocoding; (ii) date, time, time zone and season; (iii) the weather (temperature, feels-like temperature, weather type, humidity, wind, day/night); (iv) the phone's technical state: battery level, charging state, battery saver mode, connection type (Wi-Fi/mobile), device model and Android version; (v) your step count for the day, only if step-counter permission has already been granted. No other sensor requiring an additional permission is read, and no new permission is requested for this feature.

Purpose: to let your Reflection give more contextual answers in the Book chat by taking your current surroundings (e.g., the time, the weather, the city you are in) into account when relevant to the conversation.

What goes to the AI: when you send a message in Book, a text summary of this information (district, province and country name; the general location you entered in your profile; date and time; weather; battery and connection state and device model; step count) is sent as part of the hidden context to the AI provider in §3.5.3. Coordinates are not sent to the AI provider. The model is instructed to use this information only when it is relevant to the conversation.

Weather provider: for the weather, your coordinates are rounded to about 0.1 degrees (about 11 km) and sent to MET Norway (Norwegian Meteorological Institute, §3-B.2 (xi)); no account ID, username or other identifier is added to the request. The query is made at most once an hour.

State Memory: if the province and country you are in differ from the last note, or 6 hours have passed since the last note, a short note of the form "on this date you were around this place" is written to the State Memory on your device (§3.7-F); these notes may be used in memory search in Book.

Storage: the last location (coordinates and place name) and the other information are kept only on your device; they are not sent to the Developer's servers and are not shown on the Global Profile. State Memory notes are subject to the limits and deletion rules in §3.7-F.

How to stop it: if you turn off Settings > Privacy & Security > "Current context (location, weather, phone status)", none of this information is collected, the last location and context information kept on the device are deleted and nothing is sent to Book (notes already written to State Memory can be deleted there under the rules in §3.7-F). In addition, if you revoke the App's location permission (and step-counter/physical activity permission) in your device settings, live location and step information are no longer collected; the weather is also queried only while a live location is available. Date, time, battery and connection state are read from the device without a permission.

Legal basis: for location data, KVKK Art. 5(1) and GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) (explicit consent — the location permission, revocable at any time); for the other context information, KVKK Art. 5(2)(f) and GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — providing the chat service you requested in a context-appropriate way). International transfers are subject to §5.

§3.3 Biometric Data (Fingerprint / Face Recognition)

How it's processed: the App uses the device's operating-system-level biometric authentication infrastructure (local_auth — Android BiometricPrompt / iOS LocalAuthentication) for fast, secure login. Fingerprint templates and face models are held only in the device's secure hardware enclave (TEE / Secure Enclave).

Legal basis: KVKK Art.6/3 — as a special category of personal data, biometric data may be processed only with explicit consent. The user is informed on a separate consent screen before this feature is enabled. GDPR Art.9(2)(a) applies in parallel.

Data flow: biometric data never leaves the device under any circumstances. It is not transmitted to the Developer's infrastructure, the API gateway, or any third party. Only a "success/failure" authentication result is reported to the App.

Retention: since the data resides in device hardware, the Developer has no direct deletion authority; the OS-level record is automatically invalidated when the user disables this feature.

§3.4 Step Count (Health Data) and Estimated Sleep Pattern

Step count: your daily step count is read from your device's pedometer/accelerometer sensor only when you tap the permission option in the Step Counter panel, give your explicit consent in the separate consent window that follows, and approve the operating-system permission. Because step count may be considered health data, the Developer treats it as special-category personal data. The consent window explains where the data is kept, that it may be shared with the people you exchange letters with according to your sharing settings, that it may be used in your Reflection's AI features, and how consent can be withdrawn; the time of consent is recorded on your device. Declining consent does not affect the App's other functions.

Estimated sleep pattern: without using any separate sensor or health-data source, the App calculates an estimated rest/sleep pattern deterministically from the hours during which you do not use the App. This estimate is not a medical measurement, contains no assessment of your sleep quality or health, and is not used to draw inferences about your health; it is used only to simulate your Reflection's daily rhythm.

Purpose: to reflect your daily activity and rest pattern in your digital copy and to give you a personal summary (informational only, not medical advice).

Storage and sharing: raw step data and the estimated sleep pattern are kept encrypted only on your device and are not stored on the Developer's servers. However, if the "mobility" and "sleep pattern" sharing categories in §3.5.9-B are on (they are on by default), summaries of them are delivered as part of KP-memory to the people you exchange letters with (the server only relays them temporarily) and may be used in your Reflection's AI features and sent to the AI provider under §3.5.3. A mobility summary based on step count exists only if you have given the explicit consent above. In simulations, the sleep pattern is not used even with the closed-data option (§3.5.7-D).

Control and withdrawal: you can withdraw your consent for step data by turning off the physical-activity (step) permission in your device settings, and stop the sharing by turning off the "mobility" and "sleep pattern" categories in Settings > Social Environment Settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Legal basis: for step count, KVKK Art.6/2 and GDPR Art.9(2)(a) (explicit consent); for the estimated sleep pattern, KVKK Art.5/2-c and Art.5/2-f, GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f); for sharing, §3.5.9-B.

Retention and deletion: this data is deleted from your device with "Delete all data" in Settings, when you delete your account, or when you uninstall the App; §3.11-B applies to summaries already delivered to people you exchanged letters with. See also the Health Data Notice.

§3.4-A Removed and Unused Permissions

As of 13 October 2026, the App no longer requests permissions for features it does not offer (contacts access, near-field/Bluetooth scanning, phone state); these permissions have been removed from the App. The App only requests the permissions needed for the features it offers (e.g., notifications, location, step counter), and the data collected through them is described in the relevant sections of this Policy.

If the relevant feature is enabled in the future, the category of data processed, its purpose, legal basis, and retention period will be added to this Policy, and users will be informed in advance under §10. The user may restrict or deny these permissions at any time from device settings; doing so does not affect the App's current core functionality.

§3.5 Chat, AI Interaction, and Psychological/Behavioral Analysis Data

Data collected: the user's exchanges with in-app AI assistants and simulated characters; sentiment-analysis results produced by local, on-device ONNX models; behavioral and psychological profile data derived from the user's text inputs and app interactions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — AUTOMATED ANALYSES THAT ARE ON BY DEFAULT AND RUN EVEN IF YOU DO NOTHING: some features of the App are on by default from the moment your account is created and run automatically as you use the App, without you needing to press a button, turn on a setting, or take any action. These include in particular: (i) thought-flow analysis, which derives an automated profile of your way of thinking and associating ideas from your long chats (§3.5.15); (ii) emotion, behaviour, and personality analyses based on your messages and interactions (§3.5.2, §3.5.6, §3.5.9); (iii) sharing of your KP-memory data with the people you exchange letters with, and their ability to run simulation and compatibility analyses with you (§3.5.9-B, §3.5.7-B, §3.5.7-C); (iv) Community Wall screening (§3.6-B); (v) the Perception Network's first automatic discovery (§3.5.14); (vi) measuring the emotional tone of the texts you write on your device and reflecting it in your Reflection's simulated mood (§3.5.16); (vii) daily usage statistics and the account status summary (§3.14); and (viii) the on-device "I / you / they" classification of your Book messages and the production of "Self Space" inferences from chats about the Reflection itself (§3.5.18). For processing that has no separate switch (§3.5.16, §3.5.18 and §3.14), you can exercise your right to object under §6. Some of these analyses involve transmission to third-party AI providers under §3.5.3. If you do not want these operations to take place, you must turn off the relevant setting yourself in the Settings menu. For as long as you do not turn a setting off, you are deemed to knowingly accept that the relevant analysis runs as described in this Policy; a setting you turn off applies going forward from the moment you turn it off.

§3.5.1 — Permanent On-Device Storage

The user's AI chat history and interaction data are stored permanently only in the encrypted database on the user's own device. Not saved to the Developer's servers.

§3.5.1-A — Archived Chats and Starting a New Topic/Session

The user can archive an existing chat or start a new topic/session. Archiving is not deletion; archived chats remain encrypted on-device under §3.5.1 unless separately deleted by the user.

Starting a new topic/session may mean the system will not automatically use the previous chat context in that session; this does not mean the previous data has been deleted — it is a design choice about the contextual scope of that session. Data held in the Memory system described in §3.5.10 may continue to be used in new sessions depending on the user's settings.

The Developer cannot be held liable for the effect of archiving or starting a new topic/session on performance, response consistency, or context continuity, subject to the general hallucination and reliability limitations in Terms of Service §4.6.

§3.5.2 — System-Generated Psychological and Behavioral Analyses

The App performs a comprehensive analysis of psychological state, behavioral tendencies, and life context based on the user's messages, interaction patterns, shared content, and background activity data. These analyses:

  • Are presented to the user as a personal insight panel; the user may view these analyses.
  • Can be controlled by the user via privacy settings, which govern which portions are processed and shared on the network.
  • May, to the extent the user consents, use partial analysis results to enrich other users' experience in the simulated social network; these results may contain personal data and are used only within the scope of the user's consent (see §3.5.4).

§3.5.3 — Data Transmission to the AI Model: Scope and Risk Notice

The user's messages and system-collected data are sent to the Developer's own API gateway when an AI model call is made; the gateway routes the request to the relevant LLM provider.

Data sent: an AI call sends only the content needed for the operation in question (e.g., your chat message, part of the chat history, and the context the feature needs to work). The Developer does not anonymize this content: it may contain personal data such as your username and your profile, emotion, or memory information, and is transmitted as is. Your account ID number is not added to the request. If you enter your own personal information into an AI chat, or explicitly consent — via a separate, informed consent screen — to having background-collected data analyzed by AI, that data will be transmitted to the LLM provider's servers.

IMPORTANT RISK NOTICE: When a user enters personal information directly into an AI chat, or consents to background-collected data being processed by AI, that data may be transmitted through the Developer's API gateway to third-party LLM providers' servers. Transmitted data is subject to the relevant LLM provider's own Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement. The Developer cannot be held liable for damages arising from security breaches or data leaks originating in an LLM provider's server infrastructure, except to the extent attributable to the Developer's own negligence. By giving this consent, the user accepts the associated risk.

Automatic context inclusion: for personalization, each time the AI model is called, a summarized context derived from the user's prior interactions (not shown to the user — a short system instruction that only guides the tone/style of the response) may automatically be included in the prompt. This summary does not contain direct identifiers and is processed under KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and GDPR Art.6(1)(b). Where this summary is assessed to contain an inference relating to special-category data (e.g., an impression regarding health status, sexual orientation, or religious belief), processing that element additionally requires explicit consent under KVKK Art.6 and GDPR Art.9(2)(a); the user may limit or fully disable this scope from the privacy panel.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). Separate explicit consent is obtained under KVKK Art.5/1 and GDPR Art.6(1)(a) for AI-analysis transmissions that may contain personal data.

Cross-border transfer: LLM providers may operate server infrastructure outside Turkey or the EU/EEA. This transfer relies on explicit consent and/or an adequacy decision under KVKK Art.9, and on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an adequacy decision under GDPR Art.44-49. The Developer enters into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with active LLM providers.

Transmission security and provider independence: an AI model call is transmitted from the client to the Developer's server encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and is decrypted only server-side, immediately before being forwarded to the relevant LLM provider. The request is transmitted to the LLM provider through a single, shared API gateway without attaching information that directly identifies the user; this is an additional technical measure that keeps the provider from directly knowing who entered a given prompt — however, this measure does not make the content itself anonymous; personal information in the prompt and context is transmitted to the provider. As of the effective date of this document, the provider in use is Google Gemini; the Developer may change providers, with prior notice, under the right it reserves in Terms of Service §4.8. The Developer gives no warranty as to whether the chosen provider processes data for its own model training or any other purpose; that is governed entirely by the relevant provider's own terms of use and privacy policy.

Liability limitation for user-entered content and BYOK: the Developer is not responsible for personal or sensitive information the user chooses to enter into a prompt on their own initiative (see Terms of Service §4.8), nor for how a provider the user selects (Gemini, Claude, or others) processes data when the user connects their own API key ("Bring Your Own Key," §3-A.1). For data categories the user has already permitted to be shared by leaving the corresponding sharing/analysis setting enabled in Settings, see §3.5.9-B.

§3.5.4 — In-Network Data Sharing: Consent Basis

With the user's consent, the user's analysis profile or content may be used as part of other users' AI experience. This includes:

  • Using one user's system profile or behavioral patterns as input for another user's AI model — only to the extent the data subject has consented.
  • Sharing may be direct (the user explicitly shares their own analysis) or indirect (the user's public content feeds other users' AI experience).
  • The user may always narrow or fully disable this scope from the privacy panel.

This feature is designed to enrich the social network's simulation depth. User data is never shared without consent; the default setting is the most restrictive privacy level.

§3.5.5 — Vector Representation and Matching: Temporary Server-Side Processing

To offer meaningful connection and matching suggestions between users, Generation Network converts user data into numerical vector representations for certain algorithmic operations. The process works as follows:

Vectorization: the user's profile information, interaction patterns, content, and/or Reflection data are converted into high-dimensional numerical vectors (embeddings) via machine-learning models.

Temporary transmission to the server: these vector representations are temporarily sent to a processing server via the Developer's API gateway for the following purposes: measuring similarity between users (cosine similarity and comparable distance metrics); running the matching/connection-suggestion algorithm; personalizing the simulated social-network population.

Temporariness principle: these vector data are not permanently stored on the Developer's servers once processing completes. Vectors held in memory during processing are deleted immediately after the result is produced. The Developer verifies this technical temporariness through periodic security audits.

Personal-data status: vector representations consist of mathematical values and do not, alone, directly identify a person. However, because combining vectors with multiple sources could theoretically allow indirect identification, the Developer treats this data as personal data and applies protections accordingly.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — enabling the matching service); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f). By using the matching feature, the user is deemed to consent to this temporary processing; the matching feature can be disabled from the privacy panel.

Cross-border dimension: if the processing server is located outside Turkey or the EU/EEA, this temporary vector transmission is also treated as a cross-border transfer, subject to the safeguards in §5 (KVKK Art.9 / GDPR SCCs).

This vectorization mechanism also underlies the "Finding Similar Users" feature described in §3.5.5-A below. That feature goes further than the momentary, non-retained vector processing described in this section — it additionally transmits, and retains for a user-selected period, the underlying text content the user chooses to share with matched users.

§3.5.5-A — Finding Similar Users: Retention Periods, Cross-User Text Sharing, and Consent

What the feature does: the App offers an optional "Finding Similar Users" feature. If the user chooses to use it, the answers they provide in the relevant in-app profile/questionnaire panel, together with a summary of their Digital Copy Brain / KP-memory personality profile (§3.5.7-A), are converted on-device into a vector representation and sent to a processing server. The server compares this representation against other users' vectors to identify up to ten (10) users showing the closest statistical similarity, and enables matched users to view specific texts each has chosen to make visible for this feature. In other words, unlike the momentary vector comparison described in §3.5.5, this feature also causes actual shared text content — not only mathematical vectors — to leave the user's device and become visible to other individual users, not only to the Developer.

Data excluded by design: location data (§3.2) and appearance/visual data are never included in, or transmitted through, this feature.

Mandatory retention-period selection: before the feature can be used, the user must select how long the data they share through it will be retained on the server — one (1) week, one (1) month, or one (1) year. The feature cannot be submitted without this selection. At the end of the selected period, the vector representation and shared texts associated with this specific feature are automatically and permanently deleted from the server. This automatic deletion is independent of, and does not affect, the user's persistent account-identity record described in §3-G; only the data created specifically for this feature is deleted when the period expires.

User control over what is shared: which fields and content are included is governed by dedicated sharing toggles in the privacy panel, which the user may review, narrow, or fully disable at any time before or after use. Selecting a retention period and submitting the feature is the user's affirmative action confirming which content, under the then-current toggle settings, they consent to share for that use of the feature.

NOTICE — END-TO-END ENCRYPTED: content shared through this feature is end-to-end encrypted: it becomes readable only on the devices of the two matched users, using key material held on those devices. The server that stores the ciphertext for the selected retention period — and anyone who might gain unauthorized access to that server — cannot read the underlying text at any stage. The Developer applies the technical and administrative security measures described in §4 in addition to this end-to-end encryption, but, consistent with §4 and the Terms of Service, cannot represent any system as immune to unauthorized access to the ciphertext itself.

Trade-off — the Developer cannot pre-screen this content: because this content is end-to-end encrypted, the Developer cannot access, pre-screen, or moderate its substance before or during transmission, in the same way it cannot for the other end-to-end-encrypted communication features described in §3.7-B.4(iii) and §3.9-B. This protects the confidentiality of what users share, but also means unlawful content is not detectable by the Developer through inspection of this content itself. Compliance of shared content with the Acceptable Use Policy (including its prohibition on CSAM and other unlawful content) remains the responsibility of the user who shares it. Independently of its inability to read the content, the Developer retains the right to take account-level action — including suspension or termination under Terms of Service §8 — based on user reports, the notice-and-response mechanism described in §3.7-B.4(v), or abuse-pattern signals that do not require reading message content (§3.9-C). This provision does not affect the Developer's cooperation obligations with competent authorities described in §3.9.

Relationship to other sections: this feature is distinct from the capped, auto-rotating KP-memory transmission described in §3.5.9-A and from the Sentiment Network listing described in §3.5.12, which does not itself display other users' shared texts; see those sections for the mechanisms they separately govern.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/1 (explicit consent) and, to the extent shared content reflects special-category inferences, Art.6; GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and, where applicable, Art.9(2)(a). Because this feature discloses one user's shared content to another matched user, the sharing toggles and the retention-period selection described above are integral, non-severable parts of this feature's legal basis. A user who does not wish their content to be disclosed to other users through this mechanism should not use this feature, or should adjust the sharing toggles accordingly.

Cross-border dimension: if the processing server is located outside Turkey or the EU/EEA, this transmission and retention is also treated as a cross-border transfer, subject to the safeguards in §5 (KVKK Art.9 / GDPR SCCs).

§3.5.5-B — Generational Network ("Kuşak Ağı" / Connection Network): Expanded Profile Vector and Cosine Matching

Scope of the vector: the numerical summary (embedding) generated for matching on the App's Z/Y/X/Boomer generation pages (the "Connection Network") is built not only from the personality summary, but by combining the personality summary + Deep Analysis report + life story + biography + interests + the shared experiences described in §3.6-A + dominant emotion/hormone data. This vector is stored on the server as a separate field within the user's KP-memory; the KP-memory itself is unaffected.

Matching method: the server compares the user's vector against other network members' vectors using cosine similarity. Roughly 70% of suggested profiles come from those with the highest similarity, while the remaining 30% are drawn at random from the pool to encourage discovery.

Variability of displayed profiles: when a generation page is reopened, profiles shown on a previous visit may be replaced with new ones if genuinely new candidates exist on the server; otherwise the same profiles continue to be shown. This behavior is specific to these discovery pages; it does not affect the persistent records in the letter/Broadcast Letter inbox or the Guest Reflection access period described in §3.11-C.

Generation and updating of the vector: this vector is first generated with the user's consent (the "Build Skeleton" step) once registration is complete; this step can be skipped in case of a network error and is not a precondition for registration. When the user completes a comprehensive Deep Analysis for the first time, or once a month on a recurring basis, the vector is recalculated from current KP-memory data and the record on the server is updated.

Relationship to other sections: the data categories covered by this vector are subject to the SAME sharing toggles described in §3.5.9-B; if the user disables a category, that category is excluded from this vector as well. The vector itself is subject to the temporariness and cross-border transfer provisions of §3.5.5, the principle that mathematical values do not directly identify a person, and the existing noise-addition layer.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — enabling the matching service); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f). By using the Generational Network feature, the user is deemed to consent to this processing; the feature can be disabled from the privacy panel.

§3.5.6 — Emotion Synthesis System

The App runs the user's text inputs and interaction data through an analysis layer — proprietary and constituting a trade secret of the Developer — that models emotional dimensions using mathematical weighting methods. This system builds an inferential profile of the user's momentary and cumulative emotional patterns.

Nature and limitations of the system:

  • This is not a clinical psychological assessment tool; its inferences are experimental in nature and do not substitute for a medical, psychiatric, or psychological diagnosis.
  • System outputs are used solely to personalize the app experience; the user is granted authority to view and restrict this data from the privacy panel.

Scope of processing for "Synthetic Cortex" components: the emotion-synthesis system, the Default Mode Network (DMN), Spiking Neural Network (SNN) layers, and the three-tier memory architecture (short-term, transitional, permanent memory) run only on-device. Data these components produce (VAD values, hormone weightings, vector representations, SNN signals) never leaves the device and is not permanently stored on any server. The legal basis for processing this data is service delivery under KVKK Art.5/2-c and GDPR Art.6(1)(b). The user may always limit or fully stop the scope of this processing from the privacy panel.

  • The system's mathematical model, weighting logic, and processing architecture are the Developer's trade secret and exclusive intellectual property.

Intellectual property: the entire emotion-synthesis system — analysis method, weighting structure, output format, and derivative data it produces — is the Developer's exclusive intellectual property. While rights over the raw input data the user supplies to the system belong to the user, the analytical outputs, models, and structural derivatives the system produces from that data belong to the Developer. The Developer reserves these rights under applicable national and international IP law. Reverse-engineering, copying, imitating, or commercially exploiting the system is strictly prohibited and will be pursued legally.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). Because emotion-analysis outputs constitute personal data, all protective provisions of this Privacy Policy apply to them as well.

Restructuring of high-negative-sentiment data: content carrying a high negative emotional value in short- and long-term Memory may be restructured by the system to preserve balanced operation, optimize processing resources (tokens/memory), and reduce the likelihood of unstable or excessively negative output. This is not a deletion — the data continues to be used in reasoning processes, only repositioned among the system's processing layers. This mechanism does not in any way restrict or eliminate the user's deletion rights under §8; the user may always request deletion of all Memory data, including data restructured in this way. This mechanism is not a clinical or therapeutic suppression technique — it is purely an engineering-oriented processing-layer arrangement for system stability.

§3.5.6-A — "Effect": Model-Parameter Access Authorization and Dependent Hormonal Influence

Enabling the "Model Parameter Access Authorization" switch in the App's "Effect" section permits the proprietary, trade-secret algorithm layer described in §3.5.6 to intervene in certain sampling parameters of the AI model's output-generation process (e.g., top-k, top-p, temperature, and similar parameters). This intervention is driven by the hormone/neurotransmitter ratios computed within the user's simulated emotion system and may affect the model's response style (tone, creativity level, consistency).

IMPORTANT NOTICE & CONSENT: by enabling this switch, the user is deemed to explicitly consent to the system altering model parameters as described in this section. The user can turn this switch off at any time; once off, the system stops intervening in these parameters. Output differences produced by this feature are probabilistic and experimental in nature, and are subject to the hallucination and reliability limitations under Terms of Service §4.6. The Developer does not guarantee that these parameter changes will produce results matching the user's expectations, consistent, or predictable.

Dependent hormonal influence: the "hormonal influence" sub-setting nested under the "Model Parameter Access Authorization" switch — inoperative unless that switch is on — determines, based on the motivation ratio present in that session, the frequency of emotional learning, i.e., the rate of writes to Memory as described in §3.5.10.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and explicit consent (the user personally enabling the switch); GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and (b).

§3.5.7 — Reflection System and Dual Simulation

Definition: a "Reflection" is a virtual system representing the relevant user, created by feeding data analyzed in the background about that user into a language model via the Developer's proprietary algorithmic architecture. A Reflection is not a real person, a clinical profile, or a legal identity — it is purely an algorithmic representation layer intended to enrich the app experience.

Core nature and divergence from the user: a Reflection is a digital representation layer built from the user's data, but due to its own internal processing dynamics, language-model architecture, and algorithmic structure, it may diverge significantly from the user's actual identity, thoughts, and intentions. A Reflection is not an exact digital copy of the user; the goal is a digital foundation that is close to, but not identical to, the user. This structural divergence is a design choice, not a flaw. No content generated through a Reflection can be interpreted as, or legally attributed to, the user's real statement, will, or opinion.

Known technical limitation — hallucination risk: because the Reflection system is built on a language model, the "hallucination" phenomenon known to affect language models (producing erroneous, fabricated, or misleading output that departs from real data) may also be observed here. Accordingly: a Reflection may not represent the user accurately in every case; the content it generates may not reflect the user's real opinions, attitudes, or personality; the Developer does not guarantee that Reflection output is accurate or faithfully represents the user.

Dual simulation: the App includes a dual-simulation feature in which two users' Reflection data are processed simultaneously and the analysis results are delivered to both parties. In this feature: each user's privacy preferences are checked before their Reflection data is processed, and only consented data is included; simulation results are algorithmic outputs and do not represent the parties' actual psychological state, relationship, or compatibility; using simulation output for personal, social, or romantic decisions is not recommended, and responsibility for any such use rests entirely with the user.

Transparency and user control — profiling notice (GDPR Art.22 compliance): dual simulation and the Reflection system may involve automated profiling under GDPR. The following mechanisms are therefore provided: (i) before starting the process, the user can individually view and select which data will be included in the analysis via the privacy panel; (ii) the user can clearly see, before the process, which categories of data will shape the counterparty's response; (iii) the user can review simulation conversations with other users after the fact and object if necessary; (iv) the counterparty is likewise informed that a Reflection is an algorithmic representation, not an identical copy — this notice is a standard interface element; (v) the user may exercise the right to object to this profiling at any time via the privacy panel or by contacting [email protected]; an objection halts profiling and removes the relevant data from the processing layer.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). By opting into dual simulation, the user accepts that the counterparty is also included in the system. Dual simulation cannot begin without both parties' consent.

§3.5.7-A — Core Identity Data and the Digital Copy ("Reflection") Profile: Non-Granular Processing

Certain baseline profile data — username, full name, date of birth, location, zodiac sign, generation label, interests, gender, biography, appearance information, known languages, language preference, and country — is structurally necessary for the system to identify the user and for the "Reflection" digital-copy feature to function. For this reason, and unlike the other, individually toggleable sharing categories described in this Policy, these data points are not offered as separately switchable items: for as long as the Reflection feature is active, this data is inherently known to and used by the system as a whole.

Similarly, the "Digital Copy Brain" — the set of analytical outputs that forms your Reflection's personality and knowledge profile — is processed and presented as a single, unified representation of personality. Granting or withholding sharing permission for individual personality traits or discrete information items within this profile is not supported: the user may open or close sharing of this profile in its entirety, but cannot select or exclude items within it on a piece-by-piece basis.

This is what distinguishes these two data sets from the row-by-row, individually selectable categories available on the Social Settings screen (e.g., memories, experiences, memory records, behavioral analyses, and similar items described in §3.5.9, §3.5.11-A, and §3.6-A), where the user can toggle each category independently.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) — this processing is necessary for the Reflection feature, which is a core, user-selected functionality of the App, to operate as designed. A user who does not wish this data to be processed as a whole may disable the Reflection feature entirely from the privacy panel.

§3.5.7-B — One-Sided Simulation Network ("Simulate"): Transmission of Results Without the Target's Consent

How it differs from the dual simulation in §3.5.7: the "Simulate" feature described in this section is a mechanism SEPARATE from the dual simulation in §3.5.7, which requires both parties' consent. A user may run a relationship/event simulation about ANOTHER registered user with whom they have previously corresponded by real letter at least once, WITHOUT that other user's separate consent, awareness, or approval. This simulation is based on the requesting user's own KP-memory and on the KP-memory data that the target user has already transmitted to the requesting user's device through earlier letter exchanges, under the sharing consent in §3.5.9-B. No data of the target user that has not been shared in this way is accessed; data the target has closed to others through their privacy settings is never used under any circumstances.

Precondition: this feature works only for users with whom the requesting user has previously exchanged at least one real letter; a simulation cannot be generated or sent about a user who is a complete stranger.

Transmission of the result to the target: the result of this simulation is transmitted directly to the account of the user it is about. The recipient can see it in the in-app Inbox under a "Simulation" label and is notified via a push notification. The identity of the person who started the simulation and the content of the result are initially shown blurred to the recipient; the recipient may reveal them in exchange for 1 standard stamp. As of the effective date of this Policy, the result transmitted includes not only the category result but also the complete story described in §3.5.7-C, the character traits inferred for both parties, the threshold-by-threshold decisions, the compatibility score, and the final evaluation. There is currently no separate preference (opt-out) available to prevent such a simulation from being generated about oneself, or its result from being delivered to oneself in advance; the target user can only turn off the notification under Settings > Notifications. However, by turning off the sharing consent in §3.5.9-B, the target user can limit the transmission of their KP-memory data with letters they send from then on, and thus limit new simulations using that data; data already transmitted and cached on the other party's device is not affected by this change (see §3.11-B).

Retention period: a simulation result held on the server (temporary-mailbox architecture) for delivery to the target is automatically deleted from the server if the target does not retrieve it through the App within 3 days; no permanent archive is created. Once a result has been downloaded to the target's device, there is no separate retention limit for the copy on that device; however, incoming simulation results are locally capped at the ten (10) most recent records, with older records beyond this cap automatically deleted.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: this feature collects no new data about the person the simulation is about; it uses only the KP-memory data that person has already transmitted to the requesting user during letter exchanges under the sharing consent in §3.5.9-B. The result is AI-generated, derivative, and fictional content; it is subject to the hallucination and reliability limitations in Terms of Service §4.5 and §4.6 and can never be interpreted as the target's actual statement, will, or opinion, or as a finding of fact about their personality.

Legal basis: for the data of the user who starts the simulation, KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and GDPR Art.6(1)(b); for the target user's data, the sharing consent given by the target under §3.5.9-B, which expressly covers the purpose of "simulation and compatibility analyses" (KVKK Art.5/1; GDPR Art.6(1)(a)), together with KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — enabling the App's core simulation functionality). The target user may exercise their right to object to this processing under the general rights in §6 and by contacting [email protected].

§3.5.7-C — "The Hero's Journey": 12-Threshold Simulation Story, Automated Character Inference, and Compatibility Score

What it does: in addition to category analyses, the simulation described in §3.5.7-B produces a 12-part ("12 thresholds") fictional story ("The Hero's Journey") between the person who starts the simulation and the person they select. The story is produced through seven (7) separate AI calls made via the Developer's API gateway to Google Gemini — or, where the user uses the "Bring Your Own API" option, to the provider of their choice (Terms of Service §3-A.1): setup and the first two thresholds, then five calls of two thresholds each, and one final evaluation.

Data sent: the first call sends the two people's KP-memory data already used by the simulation (§3.5.7-B) and the results of the category analyses. Subsequent calls send only a state summary distilled from that data (character trait values, the story summary so far, and decisions made at earlier thresholds). Unless explicit consent is given under §3.5.7-D, no data closed to others through privacy settings is sent.

Automated character inference (profiling): for both people in the story, the AI produces thirteen (13) personality traits scored 0–100 (e.g., openness, conscientiousness, emotional instability, patience, attachment security, conflict avoidance) together with narrative inferences such as "core value", "core fear", "old wound", and "motivation". For the other party — who did not start the simulation and has not separately approved it — this inference is made solely from the KP-memory data transmitted under their sharing consent. This processing may constitute profiling within the meaning of GDPR Art.4(4).

Compatibility score and outcome category: a compatibility score from 0 to 100 and an outcome category (e.g., "Paths part", "Tense togetherness") are calculated on-device using predefined, deterministic formulas. The "Calculation details" panel beneath each threshold shows the formulas, weights, and probabilities used, thereby providing meaningful information about the logic involved within the meaning of GDPR Art.13(2)(f) and Art.14(2)(g).

IMPORTANT NOTICE — FICTION, NOT A DIAGNOSIS: the story, character traits, fear/wound/motivation inferences, compatibility score, and outcome category are fictional content produced by AI. They do not describe real events; they contain no factual claims about real people; they are not a psychological assessment, personality test, diagnosis, or relationship or marriage advice; and they do not constitute an automated decision producing legal or similarly significant effects for any person (they fall outside GDPR Art.22). This is stated clearly at the opening of the film, in the credits, and on the result card, in the languages supported by the App. Using this content to make decisions about a person, to evaluate that person, or to inform third parties about that person is prohibited (Acceptable Use Policy §5-A).

Content safeguards: the instructions given to the AI model require that sensitive details in the data are not stated explicitly in the text; that no claims of crime, sexual content, illness/diagnosis, or reputation-damaging facts are invented about real people; and that violence and intimacy scenes are written to be suitable for a general audience. These instructions are reasonable technical measures; by the nature of language models (Terms of Service §4.6), it cannot be guaranteed that every output complies with them fully. A user who encounters inappropriate, inaccurate, or distressing content may report it using the in-app reporting tools or by writing to [email protected]; the Developer reviews such reports under §3.9-E and Acceptable Use Policy §7.

Delivery to the other party and background completion: when the story is complete, the full story, the trait values inferred for both people, the threshold-by-threshold decisions, and the final evaluation are sent to the other person in the story as described in §3.5.7-B. Even if the user leaves the simulation page or closes the App, the story is completed from where it left off and sent the next time the App is opened; starting a simulation includes this instruction to complete and send it. A story that has been sent cannot be recalled.

Retention periods: (i) server: during delivery, the story is held on the Developer's infrastructure (Cloudflare) until the recipient retrieves it, for no more than 3 days, and is deleted upon delivery; (ii) device of the person who started it: the story's inputs, progress, and engine state are kept in a local job record and deleted automatically 7 days after the story is completed and sent; the completed result remains in the local simulation history (capped at the 10 most recent records, the oldest being deleted automatically); (iii) recipient's device: incoming results are capped at the 10 most recent records (§3.5.7-B).

The other party's rights and the limits of the Developer's control: a person about whom a story is produced may object to this processing under §6 by writing to [email protected], and may limit future use by turning off their sharing consent. A simulation result produced about a person and held on another user's device is on that user's device and under that user's control; the Developer does not keep it on its servers and cannot delete it remotely from another user's device (see §3.11-B and §6.4).

Legal basis: the legal bases in §3.5.7-B apply equally. Transfer to the AI provider abroad is subject to §3.5.3 and §5; the categories of data transferred include "personality profile inferred for the simulation (both parties)". This feature is not designed to process special categories of personal data under KVKK Art.6 and GDPR Art.9; except with explicit consent under §3.5.7-D, no special-category inferences are sent to the simulation.

§3.5.7-D — Use of Closed Data in a Simulation (Simulation-Specific Explicit Consent)

The option: the default value of the "Should data closed to others also be used?" option in the simulation form is No. If the user selects this option, a separate consent window is shown explaining which data will be used, that the data will be sent to the AI provider abroad, that the story will be sent to the other person, and that sending cannot be undone. If the user expressly consents in this window, the following data is included in the analysis for that simulation only:

  • the user's own profile fields that they have closed to others through privacy settings, and the user's own KP-memory fields that are normally not transmitted while sharing consent is off;
  • from the inferred data on the user's device, only the following categories: economic level, social class, culture, emotional state, sociological findings, interest inference, individual emotion analysis, attention span, and relationship status;
  • the user's private notes (up to 1,500 characters).

Data never used under any circumstances: sleep pattern and other health data (§3.4), religious inclination, sexual orientation, probability of depression, psychological vulnerability or psychological state, anxiety, addiction, loneliness, political inclination, and inferences about political inclination are never sent to the simulation, even if this option is selected. This exclusion is enforced technically through an allow-list that lets through only the permitted categories; no category not on the list is sent. The other party's closed data is never accessed under any circumstances.

Notice on data that may be special-category data: the "emotional state" inference and private notes may, depending on what the user has written, contain special-category data. This data is solely the user's own data and is processed only on the basis of the simulation-specific explicit consent given in the consent window above (KVKK Art.6/2; GDPR Art.9(2)(a)). Users should not write information about third parties, or special-category information they do not wish to share, in their private notes; responsibility for writing such information in private notes and including it in a simulation through this option lies with the user.

Nature and withdrawal of consent: giving consent is not mandatory; refusing does not prevent the simulation from running, it only prevents the use of this additional data. Consent is asked separately for each simulation, and consent given in an earlier simulation does not carry over to later ones. The moment of consent is written to the simulation's job record on the device. The user may withdraw consent at any time and can always prevent the use of this data by not consenting in later simulations; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal (GDPR Art.7(3)). Because a started simulation is completed in the background and sent under §3.5.7-C, data already sent to the AI provider and the story reflecting it that has been sent to the other party cannot be recalled. The user acknowledges that they were informed of this consequence in the consent window and gave their consent with that knowledge.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/1 and, for data that may be special-category data, Art.6/2 (explicit consent); GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and Art.9(2)(a). §5 applies to transfers abroad; the categories of data transferred include "closed profile data and inferred data sent with the user's explicit consent (excluding the special categories listed above)".

§3.5.7-E — Event Editor, Re-simulation, and Transferring a Simulation to Book

Event editor: in a completed simulation story, you can change the event at the end of each part by writing it yourself, getting suggestions from the AI, or discussing it with the AI in a separate conversation kept for each part. The texts you write for this purpose are sent, together with the story summary, the personality inferences made for both people (values, fears, wounds, motivations), the relevant parts of the category analysis (including the other person's scores and compatible/incompatible aspects), earlier re-simulations, and relevant parts of the conversations in other parts, to the AI provider abroad (Google Gemini; or the provider you chose under Bring Your Own API).

Re-simulation and delivery to the other party: a new story is generated with your changes and, together with the original category analysis and the 12-part story, is sent to the other person in the simulation as described in §3.5.7-B. The recipient sees it with the note "the other person changed some events and re-simulated the story"; they can open the story as a book, download it as a PDF on their own device, and edit the same story and send it back. The story data sent includes the story ID and both parties' account ID numbers. A story that has been sent cannot be recalled.

Charges: re-simulation requires 2 standard stamps: one is used for the comprehensive analysis when the story is successfully generated, and the other when the new story is successfully sent to the other person. If you do not have enough stamps, the operation does not start; if the story cannot be generated or sent because of a technical error, the relevant stamp is not deducted. An AI output not meeting your expectations is not a reason for a refund (Terms of Sale §2.4-B).

Transfer to Book: you can transfer a re-simulated story or a simulation book to the AI chat on the home page with "Send to Book". In that case, the story and all analysis data of the earlier simulation (including the personality inferences and category scores about the other person) are sent as hidden context to the AI provider with each of your Book messages until you remove the transfer; the AI may make an additional request for details when needed. This may increase your token usage. The transfer is kept only on your device, only one transfer exists at a time, and it can be removed at any time from the indicator in Book.

Retention: editing conversations and re-simulated stories are kept only on your device; the 10 most recent re-simulations and the 10 most recently discussed editing topics are kept, and older ones are deleted automatically (§3.11-D).

Features under development: features marked as "under development" in the App (e.g., storyboard, film script) process no data and are for information only (Terms of Service §5.9).

Legal basis: for the editing user's own data, KVKK Art.5/2-c and GDPR Art.6(1)(b); for the other party's data, the legal bases in §3.5.7-B — the other party's sharing consent under §3.5.9-B expressly covers these uses. For liability arising from content written by the user, see Terms of Service §4.5.11. Transfers abroad are subject to §5.

§3.5.7-F — Creating Books with AI: Simulation Book and "Turn Your Life into a Book"

What it does: you can use AI to turn your simulation results (including both people's character inferences, part scenes, analyses, and the events you changed), or the memories, personal experiences, and life stages you entered yourself in Profile > Deep (at least 5 entries and 1,500 characters), into a fictional novel or a chronological biography. The data you select, your choices, and your additional instructions are sent to the AI provider abroad (Google Gemini; or the provider you chose under Bring Your Own API) in several requests. A simulation book also reaches the other person in the simulation together with the simulation result, and that person can open it and download it as a PDF on their own device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — INFORMATION ABOUT THIRD PARTIES AND SPECIAL-CATEGORY DATA: the memories and experiences you turn into a book may contain information about other people, such as family members, former partners, or friends, and special-category data such as health, religion, or relationship history. This information is sent to the AI provider at your choice. The App does not filter this information automatically; the AI is instructed not to invent facts, not to disparage or expose third parties by full name, and not to imply sensitive information not clearly present in the source, but compliance cannot be guaranteed in every case. You are responsible for using information about other people only lawfully and with respect for their rights. If you do not want entries containing special-category information to be used in this feature, you should not select them.

PDF and sharing: books can be saved as a PDF to your device's Downloads folder. The PDF's cover and metadata state that the content was generated by AI. The PDF is not sent anywhere by the App; sharing, publishing, or commercially using the PDF is entirely your responsibility (Terms of Service §4.5.12 and §5.6).

Length, estimated usage, and confirmation: the token and package-quota share shown when choosing a book length are estimates; actual usage may differ. For operations that may use a large part of your package quota, your confirmation is requested twice. An AI output not meeting your expectations is not a reason for a refund or quota refund; if a book cannot be generated because of a technical error, no stamp is deducted.

Retention: books are stored only on your device, in "Books Written by Your Reflection", until you delete them; they are deleted together with account deletion and deletion of all data.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c and GDPR Art.6(1)(b) (providing the service you request); for the other party's data in a simulation book, the legal bases in §3.5.7-B; for third-party information in your entries, the legitimate-interest assessment in §3.5.14 applies accordingly. Transfers abroad are subject to §5.

§3.5.8 — LLM Integration via Proprietary Algorithm Architecture

The Developer does not send user data to language models in raw form. User data first passes through a proprietary algorithm layer, where it is structured before being forwarded to the language model. The details of this architecture are the Developer's trade secret.

User control: from the privacy panel, the user can manage which data categories feed into this algorithm layer, which data is shared with other users on the network, and whether the Reflection system is active.

Risks and liability: data the user chooses to include in this system — per the choices made in the privacy panel — may reach LLM providers' servers. Risks arising from this transmission are addressed under the notice in §3.5.3, and the user accepts these risks by giving the relevant consent. The Developer has no ability to control how the structured output of the algorithm layer is processed within the LLM provider's infrastructure; data-security risks arising from that process fall under the LLM provider's own Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.

§3.5.9 — Building the Reflection Profile: Data Categories and Control Mechanism

The App's "Reflection" feature may analyze the following data categories to build the user's digital character: profile information (name, age, location preferences); memories, experiences, and life stories the user has entered; contextual information about frequently visited or declared places; sleep and movement habits (only when the Health & Activity module is enabled); emotional-state entries the user has willingly reflected into the system; and personality-tendency and behavioral-pattern summaries the system derives from app interactions.

This analysis runs only under two conditions: (i) the user issues an "Start Analysis" command, or (ii) a previously enabled weekly automatic update cycle runs. The analysis is not triggered outside these two conditions.

The user can individually toggle which data categories are included in the analysis via the Reflection Data Control Panel in Settings. A category the user has switched off is never included in the analysis under any circumstances — this is a technical guarantee, not merely a statement of policy.

For religious tendency, political opinion, psychological state, sexual orientation, and other especially sensitive categories, keeping the category toggled on in the Control Panel is not sufficient by itself: a separate confirmation step is presented before every analysis run. Unless the user confirms at this step, these categories are never included in the analysis. This condition is designed to fulfil the explicit-consent obligation for special-category personal data under KVKK Art.6 and GDPR Art.9(2)(a).

General explicit consent for sensitive analyses (optional): through the optional, unticked checkbox presented at registration or the "Allow sensitive analyses" switch in Settings, the user may give general explicit consent for their data and inferences relating to the sensitive categories above to be included in reflection analyses. In that case the sensitive categories are also included in automatic (weekly) analyses and are pre-selected in the confirmation step of manual analyses; the user can still change this choice for each analysis. In this context data may be sent to the AI provider abroad, and the resulting inferences may appear in the reflection summary according to the sharing settings. General consent is not given by default, is not a precondition for creating an account or using the App, and can be withdrawn at any time in Settings; the time consent was given is recorded on the device. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

The resulting character profile is the primary input source whenever your Reflection interacts with other users — on your behalf — or is used in simulations. This profile is stored encrypted only on your device; it is not permanently stored on the Developer's servers.

§3.5.9-A — Transmission of Digital Copy Brain ("KP-Memory") Data to Third-Party Users and Live Chat Interactions

This section describes a category of processing that is qualitatively different from the on-device analysis described above: it involves the personality/character-analysis output generated by your Digital Copy Brain actually leaving your device and reaching another user or a live AI session running on another user's device.

Interaction and matching scenarios: where your Reflection data is used as part of another user's simulation, matching, or interaction experience (as described in §3.5.4 and §3.5.7), a limited set of KP-memory (personality/life-summary) records may be transmitted for that purpose. This transmission is capped at the ten (10) most recent relevant records, and older records are automatically deleted from the receiving context as new ones are generated; no unbounded or permanent log of these records is kept for this purpose.

Live chat interactions: where two users engage in a live, real-time chat mediated by the App's AI features, KP-memory content relevant to the conversation may be transmitted to, and processed by, the counterparty's own device in order to generate the AI's responses during that session — i.e., the call to the language model is made from, and billed against the quota of, the counterparty's own device/account for that portion of the interaction. Consistent with how live chat already functions in the App interface, both participants can see the content of the conversation itself. Unlike the interaction/matching scenario above, live chat sessions of this kind are not permanently logged for this purpose on either side beyond the ordinary on-device chat-history retention described in §3.5.1; there is no separate, additional permanent server-side record of the live session.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and, where the transmitted content reflects special-category inferences, KVKK Art.6 explicit consent; GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and, where applicable, Art.9(2)(a). This processing occurs only to the extent the user has left the relevant sharing/interaction settings enabled under §3.5.4, §3.5.7, and §3.5.9; the user may disable it at any time from the privacy panel. See §3.5.9-B for the default state of these settings at account creation.

§3.5.9-A.1 — Nature of this disclosure: deliberate, user-initiated external sharing, not confidential storage held by the Developer. The Digital Copy Brain / "KP-Memory" data described in this Policy (§3.5.7 et seq., §3.5.9, this section, §3.6-A, §3.7-A, and §3.7-C) is not a confidential dossier that the Developer compiles and holds on the user's behalf. It is raw personal content — personality traits, life story, shared experiences, emotional summary, and related self-reported information — that the user has knowingly and voluntarily made available for external disclosure, by leaving the corresponding sharing/analysis controls in Settings switched on. This content is actively used as direct input in Reflection question-and-answer exchanges ("Talk to their Reflection," dual simulation, and the one-sided simulation described in §3.5.7-B) and in the matching, letter, and Broadcast Letter channels described in §3.5.4, §3.7-A, and §3.7-C; through these channels it can be read, viewed, interpreted, and retained by other users on their own devices. The user acknowledges that enabling any such setting is an act of disclosure to third parties that is an ordinary, foreseeable, and user-initiated part of how the App operates — not a Developer-side data leak, security incident, or unauthorized processing.

§3.5.9-A.2 — "Visibility" and "sharing consent / analysis inclusion" are separate, independent controls; disabling one does not disable the other. As explained in §3.5.11-A and §3.6-A, Settings offers two functionally distinct control types for KP-Memory content: (i) a Visibility setting, which governs only whether a given data category is displayed on the user's own profile page to another user who views that profile; and (ii) a sharing consent / analysis inclusion setting (§3.5.9-B, §3.5.11-A, §3.6-A), which governs whether that same data category is fed into the Reflection system and transmitted to counterparties through interaction, matching, letters, and simulations. These two settings operate independently of one another. Turning off Visibility for a data category removes it from the user's own profile page but does NOT, by itself, stop that same data from continuing to be transmitted to, and read or used by, other users through Reflection interactions, simulations, matching, or letter/Broadcast Letter exchange, for as long as the corresponding sharing consent / analysis-inclusion setting remains enabled. A user who wishes to fully prevent a given category of KP-Memory content from reaching any other user by any means must disable BOTH the relevant Visibility setting AND the relevant sharing consent / analysis-inclusion setting; disabling only one of the two is not sufficient.

§3.5.9-A.3 — Assumption of risk and limitation of the Developer's liability for third-party access to shared KP-Memory data. By leaving any sharing consent / analysis-inclusion setting described in this Policy enabled — an affirmative, revocable choice within the user's own control at all times — the user acknowledges and accepts that the corresponding KP-Memory content will be transmitted to, and may be read, interpreted, stored, cached, and reused by, other users of the App, as described throughout this section and §3.5.9-B, §3.6-A, §3.7-A, §3.7-C, and §3.11-B. This disclosure takes place solely as a consequence of, and strictly to the extent of, the user's own configuration choices; it is not a step the Developer takes independently of those choices, and the user's continued, informed choice to leave the relevant setting enabled constitutes their acceptance of full responsibility for the resulting external disclosure. Accordingly, and except in cases of the Developer's intent or gross negligence, the Developer assumes no liability for: how a recipient interprets, reacts to, records, screenshots, redistributes, or otherwise makes use of KP-Memory content once it has been lawfully transmitted to them under this section; any reputational, emotional, financial, or other harm arising from a third party's access to KP-Memory content the user has chosen to share; or a recipient's continued retention of a previously cached copy after the sharing user later disables the relevant setting (see §3.11-B). This limitation applies to the fullest extent permitted under KVKK, applicable EU/EEA data-protection and consumer law, and applicable US federal and state law, and is without prejudice to the exceptions expressly preserved in Terms of Service §6.2 (intent or gross negligence, death or bodily injury, and rights that cannot be lawfully waived). See also §3.6-C: the Developer does not guarantee that KP-Memory sharing will be free of error, unauthorized access, or misuse, and the user must never include critical or high-risk information (§3.6-C) in any KP-Memory content they choose to share.

§3.5.9-B — Default State of "Sharing Consent" and Social Environment Settings

The App's core function is sharing the reflection produced by the user's Digital Copy Brain ("KP-memory") — including personality summary, life story, the shared experiences described in §3.6-A, the emotion summary described in §3.5.6, appearance information, happiness graph, and sleep/movement data — with other users the account holder exchanges letters/messages with. The relevant sharing toggles on the Settings > Social Environment Settings screen — in particular the main "sharing consent" toggle and the sub-categories for happiness graph, sleep pattern, movement, and appearance details — are ON BY DEFAULT from the moment an account is created. This means that, even if the user never visits the Social Environment Settings screen, the data categories listed above may be shared automatically as described in §3.5.9-A and §3.7-A.

Exception — toggles that were already on by default: the "Chat/Simulation/Hosting Permission" toggle for Reflections (§3.5.13) and the Mind Explorer/Sentiment Network sharing-permission toggle (§3.5.12) were already on by default before the change described in this section; this section covers only the main sharing-consent toggle and the sub-categories listed above.

User control: the user can turn this sharing off at any time from Settings > Social Environment Settings, either in bulk (the main toggle) or on a per-category basis. Once a category is turned off, data in that category is no longer included in new sharing from that point on; however, data already shared and cached on a recipient's device under §3.11-B is unaffected by this change and cannot be recalled.

No retroactive effect: this on-by-default behavior applies only to users who have never configured their account (i.e., who have never opened Social Environment Settings). If a user has previously visited this screen and changed any toggle, that choice is preserved and is unaffected by this change.

Separate, mandatory acknowledgement and acceptance at registration: to inform the user of this on-by-default sharing behavior clearly and in advance, the registration screen presents a separate, one-time "Default Data Sharing" consent checkbox, subject to the same mandatory-field logic as the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service consent checkboxes. An account cannot be created unless this checkbox is checked. This notice states that the shared data may also be used in simulation and compatibility analyses the other person may run with you, and the user is expressly asked to read this Policy and the linked documents before signing up. In addition, the App's onboarding screen and the initial setup screen where the reflection skeleton is created state that AI features make API calls to third-party AI providers and that users who are sensitive about this must read this Policy.

Purposes covered by the sharing consent: KP-memory data transmitted to the other party under the sharing consent in this section may be used on the recipient's device for the following purposes: (i) viewing your profile and Reflection and interacting with your Reflection (§3.5.7, §3.5.9-A, §3.11-B); (ii) matching and recommendations (§3.5.5-B, §3.7-C); (iii) simulation and compatibility analyses — simulations the recipient may run with you, AI-based inference of character traits, compatibility scoring, and fictional story generation, with these results also being sent to you (§3.5.7-B, §3.5.7-C); the recipient editing and re-simulating these results, turning them into a book, and using them in their own AI chat (Book) (§3.5.7-E, §3.5.7-F); and (iv) AI-assisted personal analysis features on the recipient's own device (§3.5.14). By leaving the sharing consent on, you accept all of these purposes; if you do not accept any of them, you should turn the sharing consent off.

Legal basis: sharing your Reflection with the people you exchange letters with, and its use for the purposes listed in this section, is the App's core service that you accept when you sign up. This sharing is therefore processed under KVKK Art.5/2-c and GDPR Art.6(1)(b) (entering into and performing the contract) and KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest). The "Default Data Sharing" checkbox at registration confirms that you have been informed of this way of working and accept the service on this basis; it is not an explicit consent required as a precondition of the service. Your ability to turn sharing off at any time, by category or entirely, is the safeguard that balances this processing in your favour.

Special-category data — separate explicit consent: to the extent the shared KP-memory may contain special-category personal data, such data is shared not on the contractual basis but only on the basis of the explicit consent you give separately (KVKK Art.6/2; GDPR Art.9(2)(a)): sensitive analysis categories such as religious inclination, political opinion, psychological state, and sexual orientation through the separate consent step in §3.5.9; the mobility summary based on step count through the step-count consent in §3.4; and an LGBTQ+ gender selection through the explicit-consent window shown at the time of selection. As long as you do not give or you withdraw these consents, the relevant data is not shared on this basis.

§3.5.11 — Personality-Test Data and the Variability of Algorithmic Parameters

The App can accelerate the Reflection-building process through optional personality tests. Completing these tests is not required for a Reflection to form; skipping them does not prevent Reflection formation, only affects its speed.

Personality-test answers are not stored on the server; they are kept only in the local memory of the user's device. This data may also be converted into numerical vector representations on the device. If the user consents to AI analysis, the answers needed for the analysis, or summaries derived from them, may be transmitted to the LLM provider as described in §3.5.3; this data is not anonymized and remains personal data. Legal basis: because personality-test data may carry a psychological-assessment dimension, it is treated as special-category personal data under KVKK Art.6 and is processed only with the user's separate, explicit consent; GDPR Art.9(2)(a) applies in parallel.

Learning categories and similar classifications: the system may derive various behavioral or "learning" categories from user data and update these categories over time using certain statistical methods (e.g., exponential-moving-average-based membership-ratio calculations). These classification methods, thresholds, and computational logic may be changed, recalibrated, or removed without prior notice as part of the Developer's product-development process. The Developer does not guarantee the continuity or immutability of any particular classification method.

The term "learning" used in this document and in the App refers to a concept tied to the episodic memory system. The system's updating of user interactions over time, and its context-sensitive processing, occur through vector-based recording mechanisms. This process does not refer to a training or fine-tuning process that permanently alters model weights. Local models used in the App are not retrained on user data, and model weights are not permanently updated; personalization occurs only at the contextual and episodic layer, on-device.

Margin of error: inferences derived from personality tests and behavioral classification may, given the probabilistic nature of complex systems, be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. These outputs are subject to the hallucination and reliability limitations in §3.5.6 and Terms of Service §4.6, and should not be interpreted as a definitive psychological assessment.

§3.5.11-A — Character Analysis Module: Standard Psychometric Test Inventories

The App's "Character Analysis" section offers optional test inventories prepared drawing on established psychometric frameworks from the literature and expert sources: (i) the Big Five (Five-Factor Model); (ii) the HEXACO Personality Inventory; (iii) an Attachment Styles inventory; (iv) a Socio-cultural Axis test; and (v) a Generation test. These tests are subject to the general "Personality-Test Data" regime in §3.5.11; this section only names these specific test categories and describes their particular visibility/analysis control mechanism.

Purpose of use: results from these tests may be used as input for (i) personalizing AI (LLM) model output, and (ii) the memory/analysis processes of the Reflection system described in §3.5.7 et seq.

User control — two independent settings: Visibility (Settings > Privacy & Security > Visibility Settings) — the user may choose to display raw test results to other users on their profile; when off, results are never displayed on the profile. Analysis inclusion (Settings > Reflection Settings) — the user separately determines whether test results are included in the Reflection system and related analysis processes. These two settings are fully independent: a user may include results in analysis without displaying them on their profile, or display them without including them in analysis.

Storage and transmission: test answers and results are stored only locally on the user's device under §3.5.11; not permanently stored on the Developer's servers. To the extent the user consents to including results in the main analysis process, this data may be shared with third parties or third-party AI providers under the consent framework described in §§3.5.3 and 3.5.4.

Legal basis and margin of error: the special-category data regime in §3.5.11 (KVKK Art.6; GDPR Art.9(2)(a)) and the hallucination/reliability limitations in §3.5.6 and Terms of Service §4.6 apply equally to these tests. Their results do not constitute a definitive psychological assessment, clinical diagnosis, or scientific measurement — they are an approximate representation based on the user's own statements and/or AI inference.

§3.5.12 — Mind Explorer: Reflection Posts, Trending Sentiments, Sentiment Network, and Collective Unconscious

Reflection posts displayed in the App's "Mind Explorer" section are automatically generated using AI (large language model) technology, based on a profile built by periodically summarizing inferential data (behavioral tendencies, interests, sentiment patterns) obtained from the user's in-app interactions and held on-device. During the text-generation step of this process, the relevant profile summaries may be transmitted to a third-party AI service provider via the API gateway described in §3.5.3; this transmission is subject to that provider's own privacy and data-processing policies.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: generated posts are a possible AI interpretation/simulation derived from the user's historical data; they are not information about a real third party, a record of a real event, a medical/psychological diagnosis or advice, or a definitive statement of fact, and must not be interpreted as such. Content may occasionally be blended with current, publicly available news/information sources; the Developer does not guarantee the accuracy, currency, or completeness of those sources. Content in this section should not be used for personal, health, legal, or financial decision-making.

Trending Sentiments (GDELT-sourced news sentiment analysis): the "trending sentiments" area on the Mind Explorer page reflects automated sentiment analysis applied to ten (10) articles selected by the system from a personalized news feed sourced from The GDELT Project. A match score is produced by comparing the sentiment carried by these articles against the system's calculation of the user's overall sentiment; which articles are selected is determined by the system based on data held locally on the user's device. News shown on the News Network page is also GDELT-sourced; see §3.5.12-A for the data-processing detail specific to that page.

Sentiment Network: the "Sentiment Network" tab on the same page lists other users who show statistical sentiment similarity to the user. This listing is subject to the consent and vector-matching principles described in §§3.5.4 and 3.5.5; the user can exclude themselves from this matching via the privacy panel.

Collective Unconscious: the structure referred to as "collective unconscious" is a reference/context layer sent from the Developer's server to the local environment of the user's device, which may surface in AI-model-generated responses to the extent relevant to the topic. The content of this structure and what a user encounters in a given response cannot be predicted or guaranteed in advance; it is a consequence of the system's probabilistic operation and is subject to the hallucination and reliability limitations in §4.6.

Interact page — adding artificial instinctive tendencies: the artificial-instinctive-tendency feature on the "Interact" page allows the user to integrate self-defined behavior patterns into the artificial hormone/emotion-synthesis parameters described in §3.5.6. These patterns are added to the system exclusively by the user, at the user's own initiative; the Developer does not pre-determine, suggest, or vet the content of these patterns.

DISCLAIMER: processing of user-added instinctive tendencies is, by the nature of language models, subject to hallucination (§4.6) risk and context drift. The system does not guarantee it will apply an added tendency in the way the user expects, consistently, or without error. The Developer accepts no liability for outcomes arising from use of this feature, subject to the exceptions in Terms of Service §6.2.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f) apply to all processing described in this section. Where special-category personal data is processed based on the nature of the content, the separate, explicit consent mechanism in §3.5.9 governs.

§3.5.12-A — News Network: Third-Party News Content Sourced from The GDELT Project

What is shown: the App's separate "News Network" page displays current news headlines and their source links, drawn from The GDELT Project, a third-party public news-indexing service. Only the headline, the source's web address, and the publication date are shown — never a summary or the full article text.

Server-side retrieval — a shared pool, not a per-user record: the Developer's server retrieves, on an hourly basis, up to fifty (50) headlines per interface language from the GDELT DOC 2.0 API, and holds them in a temporary pool. This pool is shared across all users of the same interface language; it is not created or maintained per individual user.

Personalization happens only on-device: ranking/prioritizing headlines according to the user's interests and country is performed entirely on the user's own device. The interest and country data used for this ranking is never transmitted to the Developer's servers for this purpose.

The only new data point sent to the server for this feature is the App's current interface language (e.g., "tr") — a value already transmitted alongside the authentication data included in every other backend request, and not a new data category introduced by this feature.

Country field — additional on-device use of an existing field: the country value described in §3-F, already collected at registration for location-based pricing, is additionally used by this feature — entirely on-device — to help rank news content in the user's language and region. This additional use does not involve any new transmission of the country field to the Developer's servers.

Opening a headline: tapping a headline opens the original source's website in the device's external browser, outside the App. The Developer does not store or display the article's full text; only the headline and link are held, and only for the duration described above.

Third-party content disclaimer: headlines and links shown on this page are compiled automatically from The GDELT Project and the numerous independent news outlets it indexes. The Developer does not review, verify, or control this content and gives no warranty as to its accuracy, currency, or impartiality; see also Terms of Service §4.8-A.

Weekly news suggestion: if you have enabled push notifications, the server sends your device a content-free "show now" signal once a week, at a random moment around midday in your local time (§3.10). The selection of the news item to show and the preferences learned from your "Interested / Not interested" reactions (keyword lists) are kept only on your device and are not sent to the Developer's servers. Items similar to news you marked "Not interested" may also be filtered out of your News Network feed. This personalization does not produce an automated decision, and you can turn off all news suggestions under Settings > Notifications.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f). Because this feature does not involve any new data category and processes the interface-language value only for content delivery, no separate consent mechanism applies beyond the general legal basis for service delivery. Data held on the server to schedule the weekly news suggestion is subject to §3.10.

§3.5.12-B — Generation Encyclopedia: KP-Memory Data Science Panel and Special-Category Data Inference

How the feature works: the "Generation Encyclopedia" panel in the Web4/Mind Explorer area is an optional data-science report the user triggers with a "Get Statistics" command. The user's KP-Memory (Digital Copy Brain) records are first vectorized on-device using a local embedding model; similarity, clustering, and anomaly detection at this stage run entirely on-device and no data leaves the device. When the user requests the report, the title and body text of the relevant records, the clustering results, and — if the sharing setting is enabled — age-based happiness-graph data are sent in a single AI request either to the Developer's Google Gemini integration or to the third-party provider the user has connected via the "Bring Your Own Key" option described in Terms of Service §3-A.1.

Derived data produced: this process produces an overall sentiment-tone score, a list of latent/hidden themes, an entropy and polarization score, and "inconsistency" findings among the user's notes, all of which are stored permanently on-device. The panel also displays — without recalculating it — the political/sociocultural positioning score previously produced by the Balance Indicator described in Terms of Service §4.6.8.

Special-category nature and separate, purpose-specific explicit consent: some of the outputs above — in particular the political/sociocultural positioning, overall sentiment tone, and entropy/polarization score — may constitute an inference regarding the user's political opinion (KVKK Art.6/1; GDPR Art.9(1)) and/or psychological state. Accordingly, enabling this panel requires a separate confirmation step presented before first use, independent of the commercial access granted by a premium subscription or BYOK; the panel does not run unless the user affirmatively confirms at this step. This consent rests on, and extends to this new processing purpose, the same "separate confirmation step for sensitive categories" mechanism described in §3.5.9.

Purpose limitation — existing sharing settings do not substitute for this consent: a user having left KP-Memory data open for general sharing under §3.5.9-B, or having agreed to include certain categories in Reflection analysis under §3.5.9/§3.5.11-A, does not, by itself, constitute consent to processing that same data for the purpose of generating a political-tendency/sentiment/polarization score as described in this section. Under the purpose-limitation principle in GDPR Art.5(1)(b) and KVKK Art.4, the separate confirmation step described above is additionally and independently required for this panel.

Third-party processor, cross-border transfer, and BYOK liability limitation: transmission to Google Gemini is subject to the same sub-processor and cross-border transfer terms described in Terms of Service §4.8 and in §3.5.3 and §5 of this Policy. Where the user uses the "Bring Your Own Key" option, the relationship-of-the-parties and liability limitation described in Terms of Service §3-A.1 (the Developer is not a party or intermediary in that relationship) applies in full; the Developer is not responsible for how the user's chosen provider processes this content.

Deletion of derived data: all scores, labels, and cluster data produced by this panel are stored only on-device and fall within the Settings > Privacy > [category] > Delete flow described in §6.4.2; the user may permanently delete this data at any time.

Scientific/psychological validity and age limit: for the general disclaimer regarding this feature's output, see Terms of Service §4.6.8-A. Because the App is available only to users aged 18 and over (§3-A, §7), this panel does not require a separate age gate; the App's general age limit already covers it.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/1 and Art.6/2 (separate explicit consent as described above); GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and Art.9(2)(a). This section expressly extends the general mechanism in §3.5.9 to the new processing purposes introduced by the Generation Encyclopedia.

§3.5.13 — Reflection Hosting ("Reflection Detention")

The App includes a feature that allows users to temporarily host a copy of another user's digital character ("Reflection") on their own device ("Reflection Hosting"). This feature works as follows:

What happens: a user may copy digital-copy data ("KP-memory" — personality summary, life/character information) belonging to another user who has reached them through the network (via a letter, a simulation, or a Reflection interaction), and store that copy on their own device for a period of 30 days. This action is performed in exchange for 1 Standard Stamp. During the hosting period, the hosting user may interact with this data within the system (via artificial intelligence); the hosted user does not receive notifications about these interactions.

Notification mechanism: when a user's Reflection is hosted in this way, if the target (hosted) user has a real network identity, an automatic notification is sent to them via the server. This notification discloses the identity information of the hosting user (username and/or identity number) to the target user. This is the first mechanism in the App by which a third party's identity is disclosed to another user through an automated system notification, and users should be aware of it.

Consent and control: from a switch in their settings, users can control (a) whether their own Reflection may be hosted by others, and (b) whether they themselves may host other users' Reflections. When this switch is turned off, all data hosted up to that point is automatically released. This preference (permission status) is also transmitted, together with the user's profile data, to other users over the network.

Termination: the hosted user may request, via the "system agent," that the copy of their data be deleted from the hosting user's device (in exchange for 1 Standard Stamp); following this action, the hosting user may not host the same person's Reflection again.

Automatic acceptance: if the target user takes no action on the hosting notification within 24 hours, this is interpreted as consent to the continued hosting of the data.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/1 (explicit consent, exercised via the settings switch described above) and Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and (b). Because this feature discloses one user's identity information to another, both the hosting and the hosted user's consent settings, and the notification mechanism described above, are integral, non-severable parts of this feature's legal basis. A user who does not wish their identity to be disclosed to other users through this mechanism should keep the relevant switch disabled.

§3.5.14 — Perception Network ("Algı Ağı" / Knowledge Network): AI Relationship Analysis Across Records and Content Belonging to Third Parties

What it does: in the App's "Perception Network" view (Book panel), when the user presses the "Relationships" option on a record, the selected record and up to ten (10) candidate records chosen by the system are sent via the Developer's API gateway to Google Gemini — or, where the user uses the "Bring Your Own API" option, to the provider of their choice (Terms of Service §3-A.1) — in order to discover relationships and patterns between them. As a rule, this analysis starts with this action by the user. Sole exception: when the Perception Network first reaches about 20 records, an automatic discovery is run once per device for up to the 3 most-connected records, without the user needing to press any button (no more than 3 AI calls); all later analyses start only on the user's action.

Data sent: up to 900 characters of text from the selected record and up to 600 characters from each candidate record, together with descriptive information such as the record's type and date. Candidate records may come from the following sources on your device: SMS-style messages and letters you have sent and — if you have turned on the setting below — those you have received; Broadcast Letters you have published; AI chats, archived chats, and chat memory; your answers in the Web2 Similarity form; personal encyclopedia, life-story, memory, and experience entries; personality-test results; inferred data and behavioural analyses; your profile biography; and cognitive-training inputs.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — CONTENT BELONGING TO THIRD PARTIES: messages and letters you have received may contain content written by other people and personal data appearing in that content, such as names, phone numbers, or health information. For this reason, received messages and letters are not sent to Perception Network analysis by default; only if you yourself turn on the "Perception Network: include incoming messages in analysis" switch under Settings > Privacy may they be sent to the AI provider abroad as part of analyses you start. The person who wrote the text is not separately asked to consent to this transmission, and the App does not automatically strip special-category personal data from these texts. The Developer does not intend to process special-category data contained in these texts. As the user who turns on this switch and starts the analysis, you accept that: (i) you have content transmitted to you analysed solely for your own personal use; (ii) you will refrain from including in the analysis records containing another person's special-category information (such as their health, sex life, or religious or political views) or information that should remain confidential; and (iii) you will not use the results of this analysis against third parties. Responsibility for any breach of these obligations lies with the user who starts the analysis (Terms of Service §9.6 and Acceptable Use Policy §5-A).

Messages you send may also reach third-party AI providers: messages and letters you send to other users may be included in Perception Network analysis on your own device regardless of this setting. In addition, on the recipient's device, if the recipient turns this setting on, they may be included in the recipient's Perception Network analysis and in other AI-assisted features on the recipient's device and thereby transmitted to third-party AI providers. Such processing on the recipient's device is the recipient's own choice and responsibility; the Developer cannot prevent it on your behalf (see §3.7-A).

Generated insights and their storage: the relationship titles and descriptions found by the AI are stored permanently only in the local database on your device; this feature does not write them to the Developer's servers. Where relevant, these insights may be given to the model as hidden context in your later AI chats, and in this way may be transmitted again to the AI provider under §3.5.3. Because they form part of the local database, they may be included in manual backups you make under §9.7 and in your device's own backup mechanisms (§9.2).

Inferences about third parties: the insights generated may contain inferences about other people appearing in your records (e.g., a pattern suggesting that "your relationship with X weakened during a certain period"). These inferences are AI-generated, probabilistic interpretations that may be wrong; they are not a finding of fact about the person concerned and are subject to the limitations in Terms of Service §4.5 and §4.6.

Deletion: you can permanently delete the traces of records processed in the Perception Network (including relationships and insights) using the in-app deletion options; this does not delete your original letters, messages, and chats. When you delete a source record itself, it is no longer sent as a candidate in later analyses.

Rights of third parties: a person whose content has been processed in this way may exercise their rights under §6 by writing to [email protected]. Because the Developer does not hold this content or these insights on its servers, it cannot remotely delete copies on another user's device; in that case it informs the person concerned of the architectural limits and the avenues available to them (§6.4.5).

Legal basis: for the data of the user who starts the analysis, KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and GDPR Art.6(1)(b); for special-category data in the user's own records, the explicit-consent mechanisms in §3.5.3 and §3.5.9. For third-party content transmitted to the user, KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — providing the analysis feature requested by the user); this interest is balanced by safeguards including that the analysis starts only on the user's explicit action, that a per-record character limit applies, that the content is not stored on the server, and that the provider is bound by a data-processing agreement. Transfers abroad are subject to §3.5.3 and §5.

§3.5.15 — Thought-Flow Analysis ("Output Steering"): Automated Thought and Association Profile from Long Chats

What it does: when a Book chat becomes long, and a formula made up of signals calculated on-device (emotion, motivation, simulated hormone values, SNN signals, speed of topic change, and number of chat blocks) exceeds a certain threshold, the system — without the user needing to press any button — sends the last 3–12 prompt-response blocks of the chat (each message truncated to a maximum of 450 characters) and the emotion/VAD values measured on-device for those blocks via the Developer's API gateway to Google Gemini — or, where the user uses the "Bring Your Own API" option, to the provider of their choice — for analysis. This analysis runs no more than 3 times per day and no more than 3 times per chat.

Data produced (profiling): the analysis produces an automated assessment of the user's way of thinking and associating ideas, the likely reasons for shifts in focus, and how their emotions steer their flow of thought. This assessment constitutes profiling within the meaning of GDPR Art.4(4). The model is instructed not to use diagnoses or clinical labels; however, by the nature of language models (Terms of Service §4.6), compliance with this instruction cannot be guaranteed in every case.

Use and storage: the analyses are stored only on your device; they are not held on the Developer's servers. They are shown in the "Consciousness Layer" panel, are periodically reminded to the model during the chat, are used as hidden context in later chats where relevant, and may become input to the Reflection personality analysis in §3.5.9; these uses may involve retransmission to the AI provider under §3.5.3. When you delete a chat, the analyses derived from it and its contribution to counters are also deleted.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — RUNS EVEN IF YOU DO NOTHING: this analysis is on by default and, even if you take no action, runs automatically in your long chats and derives a profile of your way of thinking from your chats. If you do not want this, you must turn off the switch below yourself in Settings. For as long as you do not turn the switch off, you are deemed to knowingly accept that this analysis is carried out as described in this section.

Control — on by default: this feature is controlled by the Settings > Privacy & Security > "Thought-flow analysis (Output Steering)" switch and is ON by default. When you turn the switch off, no new analysis is performed and existing analyses are no longer sent to chats or to the personality analysis; existing analyses are not deleted automatically, remain visible in the Consciousness Layer panel, and can be removed by deleting the relevant chat. Turning the switch off is the quickest way to object to this profiling under GDPR Art.21 and KVKK Art.11, and takes effect immediately going forward.

Nature: these analyses are not a psychological assessment, diagnosis, or treatment recommendation; they do not constitute an automated decision producing legal or similarly significant effects for the user (they fall outside GDPR Art.22). Statements you write in your chats about other people may be reflected in the analyses and summaries; the user obligations regarding third-party content in §3.5.14 apply accordingly to such content.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance — personalization of the chat service) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f). The analysis is not designed to produce special-category personal data (e.g., health or mental-health status); where its output nevertheless contains an inference of that kind, the explicit-consent rule for special-category inferences in §3.5.3 applies, and the user can always stop this processing with the switch above. Transfers abroad are subject to §3.5.3 and §5.

§3.5.16 — Your Reflection's Simulated Mood, Emotional Traces, and Input Tone Analysis

What it does: your Reflection has a simulated mood. Only the emotional tone of the texts you write and send in the App (Book chats, deepening conversations, letters, general and community posts, telegraph and SMS-style messages, live chat, Reflection and talk-to-the-person chats, Reflection Post chat, and simulation editor messages) is measured on your device using a word-based method and reflected in your Reflection's mood and conversational style. Only the texts you write are measured; the other party's messages are not analysed for this purpose. Chats closed to your Reflection are excluded from this processing.

What is stored and what is sent: the content of the texts is not stored for this purpose and is not sent to our servers; only derived mood values and emotional traces are kept on your device. When you chat with your Reflection in Book, a short status sentence summarising this simulated mood is sent with each message to the AI provider abroad; when you ask your Reflection about its mood, summary event records from the last 7 days may also be sent. These records do not contain your text and are kept on your device for at most 7 days.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — A SIMULATED STATE, NOT AN ASSESSMENT OF YOU: the mood, emotional traces, threshold notifications, and related indicators are the simulated inner state of your AI Reflection; they are not real emotions and are not a medical, psychological, or any other assessment or diagnosis about you. The Reflection's use of human-like expressions of emotion is a simulation. This feature is not used to steer you towards purchases or longer use of the App.

Control: this processing runs entirely on your device, is on by default, and cannot be turned off with a separate switch. If you do not want a chat to be included in this processing, you can conduct that chat in "closed to Reflection" mode. You can exercise your right to object to this processing under §6 by writing to [email protected].

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (personalisation of the Reflection service) and Art.5/2-f; GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f). This processing is not designed to produce inferences about the user's health or mental health. §3.5.3 and §5 apply to the status sentences sent to the AI provider.

§3.5.17 — Background Adaptation of Conversation Style ("Background Context Steering") and Thinking-Style Profile

What it does: in Book chats, your Reflection may from time to time, on its own, change its style, the form of its answers and its pace in order to make the conversation less monotonous and more lively, human-like and engaging; it may bring an open topic back up in your next chat; and it may ask questions that invite you to reflect or gently question your views. These adaptations are applied sparingly and at intervals, based on signals computed on your device such as the length and content of the chat and your Reflection's simulated emotion and hormone values (§3.5.16).

Data produced (profiling): as part of this feature, a short profile of your way of thinking (logical patterns, conceptual frames you use often) may be derived from your own messages in your chats, together with short notes on topics left open. This constitutes profiling within the meaning of GDPR Art.4(4). For this purpose, the relevant chat excerpts and summaries are sent through the Developer's API gateway to the AI provider (§3.5.3) — or, where "Bring Your Own API" is used, to the provider chosen by the user. The resulting profile and notes are stored only on your device, in encrypted form; they are not kept on the Developer's servers and may be sent to the AI provider again as hidden context in later chats.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — TRANSPARENCY AND LIMITS: part of this feature uses communication techniques aimed at keeping your interest in the conversation alive. When some of them are active, a warning or note is shown above the answer. Your Reflection is instructed not to invent information or claim events that did not happen, to drop these adaptations when you seem upset, anxious or vulnerable, and not to create pressure, guilt or artificial urgency to make you return to the App; however, due to the nature of language models (Terms of Service §4.6), compliance with these instructions cannot be guaranteed in every case. This feature is not used to steer you towards purchases. The resulting profile is not a psychological assessment or diagnosis and does not constitute an automated decision producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you (it is outside the scope of GDPR Art.22).

Control — on by default: this feature is managed with the Settings > Privacy & Security > Reflection Settings > "Background context steering" switch and is ON by default. When you turn the switch off, your Reflection stops making these adaptations, no new profile or notes are derived, and existing ones are no longer sent to the chat. Turning the switch off is the quickest way to object to this profiling under GDPR Art.21 and KVKK Art.11 and takes effect immediately going forward; you may also exercise your right to object under §6 via [email protected].

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (personalisation of the chat service) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f). This processing is not designed to produce special categories of personal data; where the output nevertheless contains such an inference, the explicit-consent rule in §3.5.3 applies. International transfers are subject to §3.5.3 and §5.

§3.5.18 — Self-Perception: I / You / They Classification, On-Device Self-Learning and the "Self Space"

What it does: every message you send in the Book chat is classified on your device, using the meaning vector that is already produced there, as to whether it is about the Reflection itself ("I"), about you yourself ("you"), or about other people, topics or tasks ("they"). This classifier updates its own weights on your phone's processor (on-device online learning); no request is sent to an AI provider for this learning. When the topic is about the Reflection itself, previously produced inferences about the Reflection's own behavior in past conversations ("Self Space" records) and, if the emotional shift is sharp, a simulated instinctive-tendency note are sent to the AI provider together with that message as hidden context. An on-device decision layer learns in which form these notes are presented from the emotional tone of your next message, measured on your device.

What is stored: for each Book turn, the class probabilities; a shortened text of your message and of the Reflection's reply (at most 1,200 characters); the emotional tone measured on the device (valence, arousal, dominance) and simulated hormone values; a compressed form of the message's meaning vector; Self Space inferences (short texts such as what the Reflection said, how it was answered, the result, an evaluation and what it will try next time); the learned weights and the decision table. All of this data is kept only on your device, in the encrypted local database; at most 2,000 turn records and 400 Self Space records are kept and older ones are deleted automatically. It is not sent to the Developer's servers and is not shared with other users. It is included in the Cortex backup (§9.7).

What is sent: (i) to produce Self Space inferences, while the App is idle or when you tap "Learn now", chat passages about the Reflection itself (shortened texts of your message, the Reflection's reply and your next message, with an emotional-tone value) and a few of your messages that the classifier is unsure about are sent to the AI provider (§3.5.3) through the Developer's API gateway — or, if "Connect Your Own API" is used, to the provider you chose. This analysis runs within a weekly upper limit and may not run at all depending on conditions such as your plan's background allowance, battery level and Light Mode; it does not run for users without an active plan. (ii) In the Book, while the topic is about the Reflection itself, a short summary of the relevant Self Space inferences and, if any, the instinctive-tendency note are sent together with the message as hidden context.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — IT IS A SIMULATION, NOT AN ASSESSMENT OF YOU: expressions such as "self-perception", "Self Space", "self-learning", "instinct", "maturation" and "impulsive fluctuation" are descriptive names of a software architecture; they do not mean that the Reflection has consciousness, self-awareness, a personality or real emotions. Self Space inferences concern the Reflection's own behavior; however, because they may briefly summarize your reactions, the processing may qualify as profiling within the meaning of GDPR Art. 4(4). The inferences produced are not a psychological assessment or diagnosis and do not constitute an automated decision producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you (they are outside the scope of GDPR Art. 22). This feature is not used to steer you towards purchases or towards using the App for longer.

Control and deletion: this feature runs by default and cannot be turned off with a separate switch. Chats conducted in "closed to reflection" mode, imitation mode (the connection in which your Reflection imitates you), the Deepening Expert and Genepool Access turns are excluded from this processing. When you delete a chat, the turn records of that chat are deleted too; "Delete All Data" and account deletion delete all data of this feature. Self Space inferences contain short summaries derived from the chat, not the chat text itself. You can exercise your right to object to this processing under §6 via [email protected].

Legal basis: KVKK Art. 5/2-c (personalization of the reflection service) and Art. 5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and Art. 6(1)(f). This processing is not designed to produce special categories of personal data; where the output nevertheless contains such an inference, the explicit-consent rule in §3.5.3 applies. Transfers abroad are subject to §3.5.3 and §5.

§3.5.19 — The Analog Age Questionnaire ("Era Profile")

What it does: on the first visit to the Web4 Simulation page, once per account, a questionnaire of 24 old-technology cards (rotary phone, cassette, floppy disk, fax, encyclopedia, cheque, etc.) is shown. For each card you choose a level — "never saw it / saw it / used it now and then / used it regularly" — and, optionally, an age band and "still using". Below the questionnaire, only the fields that are empty in your registration details (date of birth, country/city) are asked, together with the type of place you grew up in, who mostly used these items at home when you were a child, your age at your first smartphone and your age at the analog-to-digital transition; information already in your registration details is not asked again. From the answers, use and exposure scores, category scores, family/surroundings influence, retro interest, an estimated transition age and an "access profile" are calculated on your device and shown as charts in Profile > Character Traits.

Access condition and voluntariness: access to the Web4 Simulation page depends on completing this screen once; however, answering any question is not mandatory. Cards default to "never saw it" and all additional fields are optional; you may submit the screen without marking any information. The screen does not make providing the related personal data a condition of the service; it only introduces the processing described in this section and lets you set your preference.

What is stored: questionnaire answers, additional details, calculated scores, the state of the "Use for Reflection development" switch and — if created — the detailed reading text are kept only on your device, in the encrypted local database. If you enter a missing date of birth or location on this screen, it is written to your registration details (profile) and used from there by other features. This data is not sent to the Developer's servers; it is included in the Cortex backup (§9.7). An unfinished questionnaire draft is kept temporarily in the App's on-device settings and deleted on submission.

"Use for Reflection development" switch (ON by default): when on, (i) if your Book message is about eras, generations, childhood or old technologies, a short summary of your era profile is sent with that message as hidden context to the AI provider (§3.5.3) and your Reflection answers you accordingly; (ii) your era profile is added as input to the Digital Copy Brain / KP-memory (Reflection Perspective) analyses (§3.5.7-A, §3.5.9); because the personality/life summary produced by these analyses may, according to your sharing preferences, be passed to other users through letters, Genepool and other channels, statements derived from your era profile may also appear in those summaries (§3.5.9-A, §3.7-A); (iii) if you have an active package or a "Connect Your Own API" connection, the questionnaire questions and your answers, the additional details, the birth year, generation and location from your profile, and the calculated scores are sent to the AI provider once while your phone is idle (and again if you change your answers) to produce a detailed reading. Without a package, this reading is held back and produced once a package is obtained. When the switch is off, your era profile is sent nowhere; only the on-device scoring and charts remain. You can change the switch at any time in Profile > Character Traits; turning it off does not recall summaries already produced and passed to other users (§3.11).

IMPORTANT NOTICE — NOT AN ASSESSMENT OF PERSONALITY, INTELLIGENCE OR ECONOMIC STATUS: the "Era Profile" is only a summary of the analog-technology contact you declare. No inference of personality type, intelligence, success or economic/social status is made; the "access profile" only shows which analog infrastructure (home library, rental, office, bank) you came into contact with and is not an income indicator. Answers that look inconsistent with the birth year are not treated as errors and are shown as a "special case". The processing may amount to limited profiling within the meaning of GDPR Art. 4(4); however, it is not an automated decision producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you (it is outside GDPR Art. 22) and it is not used to steer you towards purchases.

Visibility to others (ON by default): if your sharing consent (§3.5.9-B) and the "Use for Reflection development" switch are on, a minimized summary of your era profile — only the card levels, age bands, "still using" marks, your age at your first smartphone and your transition age — is sent as part of your KP-memory data to the users you are delivered to through letters, Genepool and other channels, and cached on their devices; those users can see your era profile charts in the Character Traits section of your profile (the scores are recalculated on the recipient's device with the same formula). The place you grew up in, who used these items at home when you were a child and the detailed reading are not included in this summary. You can turn this visibility off at any time with the "Era Profile (Analog Age)" switch in Settings > Profile Privacy Settings; turning it off does not recall copies already delivered and cached on recipients' devices (§3.11).

Control and deletion: you can edit your answers in Profile > Character Traits; editing recalculates the scores and re-queues the detailed reading. "Delete All Data" and account deletion delete all data of this feature (including the document used in the Book context); on a new account opened on the same device the questionnaire is shown again. You can exercise your right to object to this processing by turning the switch off or under §6 via [email protected].

Legal basis: KVKK Art. 5/2-c (personalization of the reflection service) and Art. 5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and Art. 6(1)(f). This processing is not designed to produce special categories of personal data; where the detailed reading nevertheless contains such an inference, the explicit-consent rule in §3.5.3 applies. Transfers abroad are subject to §3.5.3 and §5.

§3.6 Life Stories and Posts Shared by Users

Users can share life stories, memories, journal entries, and other personal content as posts within the App.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). The user creates and publishes this content of their own free will.

Content liability: legal responsibility for content the user shares rests entirely with the user who created and published it. The Developer has no obligation to pre-screen, correct, or block publication of user-shared content. Moderation, complaint mechanisms, and content removal are separately governed by the Acceptable Use Policy.

Scope: depending on the user's privacy preference, this content may be visible only to the user, to selected connections, or to the entire network. The user may change this scope at any time from the privacy panel.

Retention: content is kept encrypted on-device until deleted by the user or until account termination. Because shared content may have been separately copied to recipient users' devices, the content owner's deletion request applies only to copies under the Developer's control.

§3.6-A — Memory & Life-Story Sharing Tools: Periodic Memories, Encyclopedia Contributions, and Experience Transfer

The App lets users share the life-story and memory content described in §3.6 through three distinct tools: "Link Memories," "Write to the Encyclopedia," and "Share a Personal Experience." Users may also enter memories under generational categories: Childhood (ages 0–12), Youth (13–25), Adulthood (26–60), and Later Life (60+).

Content shared through these tools is processed under the same visibility/analysis distinction described in §3.5.11-A: Visibility (Settings > Privacy & Security > Visibility Settings) — whether the memory is shown to other users on the profile; Analysis inclusion (Settings > Reflection Settings) — whether the content is fed into the Reflection system and, subject to consent, the collective/aggregate inferential processes described in §§3.5.4 and 3.5.12.

"Write to the Encyclopedia" specifically: this tool lets the user record personal testimony about a historical turning point relevant to their own generation (e.g., a pandemic, crisis, or social event). By sharing this content, the user accepts that it may — within the visibility scope they set — serve as a source for the Generation Encyclopedia described in Subscription Terms §13.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: content shared via these tools is the user's own subjective testimony, memory, or interpretation; it is not a Developer-verified historical record, journalistic work, scientific source, or a definitive statement of fact, and cannot be presented or interpreted as such. The Developer is under no obligation to research or verify the accuracy of user-shared content of this kind.

Legal basis: the legal basis and content-liability principle stated in §3.6 (KVKK Art.5/2-c; GDPR Art.6(1)(b)) apply equally to these tools. Where shared content contains special-category personal data (memories involving health status, religious belief, sexual orientation, etc.), including that content in the analysis process is subject to the separate, explicit consent mechanism in §3.5.9.

§3.6-C General Notice: No Guarantee of Outcome for Shared Content; Prohibition on Sharing Critical or High-Risk Information

This section applies to every feature described in this Policy that transmits, exposes, or otherwise makes user data available beyond the user's own device — to another user, a third-party provider, or the Developer's temporary infrastructure. This includes, without limitation: KP-Memory / Digital Copy Brain sharing and Reflection interactions (§3.5.7 et seq., §3.5.9-A); life stories, memories, and Encyclopedia contributions (§3.6, §3.6-A); the Community Wall (§3.6-B); photo/steganographic postcards (§3.7); letters, postcards, and SMS-like messaging (§3.7-A); Broadcast Letter (§3.7-C); Telegraph messaging (§3.7-D); Send Chat with Your Reflection — chat session sharing (§3.7-E); letter writing labels (§3.7-G); Sociocultural Environment Analysis (§3.15-A); and Reflection Hosting (§3.5.13).

NO GUARANTEE — BEST-EFFORT OPERATION ONLY: the Developer applies commercially reasonable technical and administrative measures and undertakes to make its best effort to operate every feature listed above securely, accurately, and as described in this Policy. However, the Developer does NOT guarantee, and expressly disclaims, that any of these features will operate free of error, interruption, unauthorized access, technical failure, human error, third-party misconduct, security vulnerability, or data loss, alteration, duplication, or exposure beyond the intended recipient. Problems of this kind can occur despite the Developer's best efforts, for reasons within or outside the Developer's reasonable control.

Screenshots, copying, and taking content outside the App: a recipient taking screenshots of, recording, copying, or sharing outside the App any content you share cannot be technically prevented. Such acts are the own acts of the user who performs them and are entirely that user's responsibility; they do not constitute a data breach originating from the Developer (see Terms of Service §5.6). Likewise, responsibility for taking content that reaches you outside the App by screenshotting or copying it lies solely with you.

User obligation — share only with this residual risk in mind: because no data-sharing feature described in this Policy can be guaranteed free of the risks described above, the user must decide what to share, and with whom, with this residual risk in mind, and must exercise at least the same level of caution they would apply before disclosing information on any other network or social platform.

Absolute prohibition on sharing critical or high-risk information: the user must NEVER enter or transmit — through KP-Memory sharing, Reflection interactions, life stories/memories/Encyclopedia entries, letters, Broadcast Letter, the Community Wall, Telegraph, SMS-like messaging, steganographic images, or any other feature described in this Policy — information that is critical, highly sensitive, or whose loss or exposure could cause significant harm. This includes, without limitation: national identity number, passport number, home address, financial account/card/IBAN details, passwords or other access credentials, private keys or wallet seed phrases, records of serious medical conditions, information about identifiable third parties shared without that third party's own consent, trade secrets, or any other information a reasonable person would consider too sensitive to disclose on a social platform. Responsibility for sharing any such critical or high-risk information rests entirely with the user; the Developer is under no obligation to detect, screen for, or prevent the sharing of this kind of information, except to the extent a specific technical safeguard is separately described elsewhere in this Policy (e.g., §3.9-B).

Legal basis and liability: this notice reflects the general "as is" / "as available" service basis described in Terms of Service §5 and the limitation of liability in Terms of Service §6, at all times subject to the exceptions preserved in §6.2 (intent or gross negligence, death or bodily injury, and rights that cannot be lawfully waived under KVKK, applicable EU/EEA law, or applicable US law).

§3.7 Photo, Gallery, and AI-Image Data — Steganography

Data collected: images the user selects from their gallery or generates with AI; message content embedded into these images via steganography.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). A separate OS-level permission is obtained for gallery access.

Storage: AI-generated images and steganographic messages are kept encrypted only on the user's device. They may be temporarily routed through the Developer's infrastructure during transmission; no permanent copy remains in the Developer's systems once transmission completes.

Network transmission of steganographic postcards: steganographic (data-hidden) postcards generated in the App — whether attached to a letter or sent independently and directly to a user — are transported over real network traffic through the Developer's server infrastructure. These images are held on the server only temporarily, until delivered to the recipient; the server does not view or process their embedded content. On the recipient's device, independently sent postcards are limited to the most recent twenty (20) records; older records beyond this limit are automatically deleted.

Retention: shared images are deleted from the transmission infrastructure within 24 hours at the latest after reaching the recipient's device.

Measures against misuse (without storing the image itself): (i) for each transmission, an irreversible SHA-256 digest ("fingerprint") of the image, its size, and the transmission metadata are written to the traffic record described in §3.9-D — the image and the hidden message are not stored, but this fingerprint allows a later-reported image, or one submitted by a competent authority, to be matched to the account that sent it and the time it was sent; (ii) letters and postcards carry the "message franking" proof described in §3.9-E; (iii) the server does not accept images above a certain size (approximately 2 MB); (iv) before first using the steganography feature, the user gives a one-time acknowledgement that hidden content is also subject to the Acceptable Use Policy, that it may be reviewed with the recipient's consent if reported, and that transmission records are kept; (v) the recipient can report a received postcard from within the App and may, with their consent, attach the hidden text to the report.

§3.7-A — Letter/Postcard and SMS Communication System

Scope: the App includes a communication system that lets users exchange digital letters/postcards and short (SMS-like in-app) messages.

Encryption: the content of letters (including steganographic postcards), telegrams, and SMS-like messages is always transmitted end-to-end encrypted; the server only handles and routes the encrypted data temporarily. If an encrypted connection cannot be established, the message is not sent unencrypted but held on your device (see §2-A). For the full scope, conditions, and exceptions of these encryption layers, see §2-A.

The communication architecture described in this section reflects the App's targeted, progressively-deployed technical design. During periods when server-side routing infrastructure is not yet fully active, the relevant functions may operate on-device and/or in a limited capacity; the user is separately informed of this through the App interface in that case.

Delivery time: in keeping with the system's simulation design, digital letters and postcards may not be delivered instantly; they may reach the recipient anywhere from a few hours to a few days after sending. This delay is a design choice, not a technical fault. The Developer does not commit to a specific delivery time.

Data transmitted alongside delivery: a sent letter or postcard is not limited to the message content — the following may also be transmitted to the recipient and the delivery infrastructure: the sender's publicly shared personal profile data (username, profile image, other profile information the sender has marked public); and the sender's systemic Reflection data (see Definitions — the user may limit this scope from the privacy panel).

Transmission of Digital Copy Brain ("KP-memory") summaries with letters: where the sender's "sharing consent" setting is on — which, as described in §3.5.9-B, is on by default from the moment an account is created — sending a letter also transmits a summary of the personality/life information generated by the sender's Digital Copy Brain (as described in §3.5.7-A) to the recipient, and this summary is then stored on the recipient's device. In other words, when you send a letter, to the extent you have consented, a summary of your personality profile travels with it to the other party. While a letter (and any attached personality summary) is in transit, the Developer's server infrastructure holds this content only temporarily, until it is delivered to the recipient's device; it is not kept as a permanent archive, but this temporary handling nonetheless constitutes "processing" of personal data for the purposes of KVKK and GDPR and is disclosed here on that basis.

Recipient responsibility for received personality data: once delivered, the transmitted personality/character summary is stored permanently on the recipient's device (independently of whatever the Developer's server subsequently does with its temporary copy). Recipients are expected to treat another person's personality/character data received in this way with the same care and respect they would want for their own — see Acceptable Use Policy §5-A for the applicable conduct guideline.

ACCEPTANCE BY THE ACT OF SENDING: when you send a message, letter, telegraph, postcard, or other content through the App, you represent that you know and accept that this content (i) will be stored on the recipient's device; (ii) may be screenshotted, copied, and taken outside the App on the recipient's device (Terms of Service §5.6); (iii) may, according to the recipient's preferences, be processed in AI-assisted features on the recipient's device (including the Perception Network, chat memory, Reflection, and simulation features) and thereby transmitted to third-party AI providers; and (iv) may likewise be processed in AI-assisted features on your own device. Each act of sending is a clear expression of your will to send despite, and in knowledge of, these consequences, and this acceptance is deemed repeated with each sending. A user who does not accept these consequences should not send the content. This acceptance does not replace consents separately obtained where the law requires explicit consent, and liability arising from processing the recipient carries out on their own device lies with the recipient.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). Transmission of Reflection data relies on the consent the user gave when configuring their privacy preferences.

Retention: letter/postcard data temporarily held in the delivery infrastructure is deleted from delivery servers within 48 hours at the latest after reaching the recipient's device. On the recipient's device, it is retained until deleted by the user.

SMS system: messages sent via the in-app SMS-like instant messaging feature are temporarily routed through the Developer's API gateway for delivery; no permanent copy is kept in the Developer's infrastructure once delivery completes. Message content is always transmitted end-to-end encrypted — decrypted and readable only on the sender's and recipient's devices; the server processes only the encrypted data during transmission. If an encrypted connection cannot be established, the message is not sent unencrypted (see §2-A). Messages are also stored encrypted on both the sender's and recipient's devices.

Sending-frequency limits (fair use): to simulate a genuine letter-writing experience, technical frequency (rate-limit) restrictions apply to letter and SMS-like message sending. These limits include, for example: a new letter cannot be sent to the same recipient until a certain period (the value currently shown in-app) has elapsed since the previous letter to that recipient; a user cannot send more than a certain number of letters per day across different recipients, and this cap resets daily at a set time; and SMS-like messaging is subject to a tiered cooldown that kicks in after a certain number of consecutive messages and progressively reduces the number of consecutive messages allowed as the cycle continues. The exact numeric values may change over time at the Developer's product discretion; the limits currently displayed in-app always govern. A send that is blocked by these limits is not carried out; no Stamp or SMS quota is consumed as a result, and the user is shown a clear in-app notice. These limits do not cover the Broadcast Letter feature described in §3.7-C below or the Telegraph messaging feature described in §3.7-D; those features are subject to their own, separate sending regimes.

§3.7-C — Broadcast Letter ("Genel Mektup"): Publication, Server-Selected Matching, and Full KP-Memory Sharing

What it does: the "Broadcast Letter" feature lets a user publish a letter — without choosing a specific recipient — that is held on the server for a period the user selects (7/30/365 days). The letter is shown to other users the system assesses as matching the sender's profile, based on a scoring of interest and profile/personality similarity. The system, not the sender, selects the recipient; the sender therefore cannot know in advance who the letter will reach.

Managing a publication: the publishing user can edit their letter at any time, temporarily freeze it out of matching, or delete it permanently. Because of the serverless nature of the underlying infrastructure, an edit/freeze/deletion may take a few minutes to propagate to all candidates; this is noted in the app interface. Freezing is not deletion — the data remains on the server but is temporarily excluded from new matches. Deletion permanently removes the letter record and its associated "seen" markers from the server; however, if the letter has already been delivered to a recipient, the cached copy on that recipient's device is not affected by the deletion.

Matching score and the "no good match" case: matching runs on a scoring system based on interest similarity, personality/profile similarity, and language compatibility. The system may show matches that fall below a given score threshold if no better one is available; consequently, particularly while the platform's user base is small, letters shown may have low overlap with the recipient's interests. This is expected behavior, not a malfunction.

Data sent to the server for matching: the relevant portions of the publishing user's interests, personality summary, Deep Analysis report, life-story entries, biography, and shared experiences are processed in plain text on the server during matching, in order to determine the most suitable recipient candidate; this data is transmitted to the server over a TLS-encrypted connection (see §4). For candidates that are evaluated but NOT selected during matching, this data is not permanently stored on the server — it is used only for that matching request and then discarded.

Full KP-memory and steganographic postcard transmission to the selected recipient: once the letter is SELECTED by the system and delivered to a recipient, subject to the publisher's sharing preferences in Social Environment Settings — the FULL KP-memory data (including personality summary, life story, shared experiences, emotion summary / VAD heat map, Deep Analysis report, date of birth/zodiac sign/generation label/biography/languages/country, badges, happiness graph, and frequently visited places) is transmitted to, and cached on, the recipient's device, in the SAME scope as under §3.7-A for ordinary one-to-one letter exchange. A steganographic postcard (image) attached to the letter reaches the recipient in the same way; the 2MB size limit under §3.7 applies here as well. As a result, a user who receives a Broadcast Letter can view the sender's full profile and use all Reflection-related features (§3.5.7 et seq.) exactly as if they had corresponded with that sender directly.

Legal basis: this data sharing is subject to the SAME sharing toggles and the SAME registration-time consent mechanism described in §3.5.9-B; KVKK Art.5/1 and Art.5/2-c, GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and (b). The temporariness and cross-border transfer provisions of §3.5.5 apply by analogy to the data processed for matching purposes.

Pricing: sending a Broadcast Letter and any associated stamp use is subject to the general non-refundability provision in Sales Terms §2.4-B.

§3.7-D — Telegraph Messaging ("Telgraf")

What it does: while viewing another user's profile, a user may send that user a "telegraph" message of up to 180 characters. Telegraph messaging uses the same serverless (temporary mailbox) architecture as SMS; it is sent directly to a selected target user rather than attached to a location.

Transmission format and temporary storage: the message is first converted to its Morse-code encoding on the sender's device and then end-to-end encrypted; it is transmitted to the server only in this encrypted, encoded form; it never reaches the server as plain text, and is decrypted and rendered readable only on the recipient's device. The plain text is retained only on the sender's device. A sent telegraph message is held temporarily on the server, in encrypted form, until the recipient retrieves it; it is automatically deleted from the server once retrieved, or in any case within 2 days (even if never retrieved). No permanent message archive is kept.

Pricing: sending a telegraph message requires spending 1 (one) standard postage stamp from the account; if no stamp is available, the send does not go through. A spent stamp is not refunded for technical reasons covered by this section (e.g., the message expiring before the recipient ever opens it); it is subject to the general non-refundability provision in Sales Terms §2.4-B.

Local storage limit: at most 50 (fifty) sent and received telegraph messages are retained on the device; once this number is exceeded, the oldest record is automatically deleted (FIFO). This limit affects only local device storage; the server side does not retain a permanent copy in any case.

Relationship to other sections: Telegraph messaging is NOT subject to the sending-frequency limits in §3.7-A; it has its own, separate stamp-based sending regime. Telegraph data does NOT fall within the general sharing-consent scope described in §3.5.9-B; it has its own independent sending/consent flow (spending a stamp).

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). Transmitting message content to the server in end-to-end encrypted, encoded form rather than plain text is consistent with the P2P/intermediary-service-provider position described in §3.7-B.4.

§3.7-E — Send Chat with Your Reflection (Chat Session Sharing)

What it does: you may send a chat session you had with the AI (your reflection) on the Book screen, or an excerpt of it, to a user on your friends list or to a user you specify by user ID. The excerpt is saved to the Archive on the recipient's device; the recipient may delete it or open it and continue the chat with their own reflection. When the recipient continues, the chat runs on the recipient's device, with the recipient's own reflection and the recipient's own emotion/mood systems; the received excerpt is given to the AI labeled as "another user's conversation" and is not treated as the recipient's own words. The received excerpt is shown in a different color from other messages, and the start of the session always shows the sender's username and a notice that "a user sent you a conversation they had with an AI".

Transmission format and temporary storage: where the recipient's device supports it, the excerpt is end-to-end encrypted on the sender's device and transmitted to the server only in that encrypted form; otherwise it is processed as a temporary transfer under item 2 of §3.4. The excerpt is held temporarily on the server until the recipient retrieves it; it is automatically deleted from the server once retrieved, or in any case within 3 days (even if never retrieved), and the sender is informed where it could not be delivered. No permanent server archive is kept. The server processes only the metadata needed for delivery (sender and recipient identifiers, time, size); traffic/metadata records are subject to §3.9-D.

Recipient's choice (declining sends): every user may turn such sends off entirely with the "Receiving chat sessions" switch under Settings > Privacy & Security > Interaction permissions; users you have blocked can never send you a chat session. If the recipient has turned receiving off, the send is not delivered, the sender is shown a "not delivered" notification, and no stamp is spent (or it is refunded if already spent). This notice is also shown on the sending screen.

Pricing: each send requires spending 1 (one) standard postage stamp from the account. Where the server definitively rejects the send (e.g., the recipient has turned receiving off or the identifier cannot be found), the stamp is refunded; where the outcome cannot be verified because of connection problems, the stamp is not refunded because the send may have reached the other party. In other cases the general non-refundability provision in Sales Terms §2.4-B applies.

Notifications: the recipient receives a generic phone notification that carries no content ("a reflection added excerpts from another user's chat session to your archive") and an in-app notification; notifications do not include the chat content.

Sender's responsibility and third parties: the excerpt you send contains what you wrote and the answers the AI gave you. Before sending an excerpt, it is entirely your responsibility to make sure it does not contain private/sensitive information about you or third parties (see §3.7-B "Strict prohibition on sharing critical or high-risk information"). The excerpt may contain AI-generated statements that can be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading; sending it to a recipient does not mean the Developer has verified or endorsed those statements. A sent excerpt cannot be recalled once sent and is under the recipient's control on the recipient's device; screenshots, copying, or export outside the App by the recipient cannot be technically prevented (Terms of Service §5.6). The "Acceptance by the act of sending" provision in §3.7-B also applies to this feature.

Relationship to other sections: this feature is not subject to the letter/SMS sending-frequency limits in §3.7-A; a separate technical rate limit applies to prevent abuse. Sending and receiving events are noted in the on-device State Memory described in §3.7-F below.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — abuse prevention); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f). Transferring the content in end-to-end encrypted and temporary form is consistent with the P2P/intermediary-service-provider position described in §3.7-B.4.

§3.7-F — State Memory and Map Recall

What it does: the App keeps short, dated system notes of certain events that happen on your device ("State Memory"): sending and receiving chat sessions; sending/receiving letters, SMS, and telegraph messages; Web2 similarity matches; Balance Indicator results; simulations; book creation; personality test results; the place you are at according to the live location taken when the App opens (§3.2-A); and — only while your account has an AI (LLM) usage entitlement/quota — the title and an AI-generated short summary of your Book chat sessions. If no event occurs, no note is written.

Where and how long it is stored: State Memory is kept only on your device, in the encrypted local database; it is not sent to the server. Its total size is limited to 3 MB; when the limit is exceeded, as many of the oldest notes as needed are automatically deleted (FIFO), and a short trace of each deleted note is shown in the "Automatically Forgotten Items" section of the Consciousness Layer page; these traces are themselves deleted after 90 days at the latest. When you delete your account, this data is deleted under §8.

Use with AI ("Map Recall"): if a message you write in Book matches, by meaning, a note in State Memory about a chat session, the App opens that session on your device, produces a summary of it, and gives that summary to the AI as hidden context to make the answer more accurate; this process is shown step by step on the chat screen before the answer. If no ready summary exists and your account has quota, the relevant part of the session (at most the last 40 messages, in shortened form) may be sent to the third-party AI provider described in §3.5 to produce the summary; without quota, a short on-device excerpt is used instead. Every piece of information entering the hidden context is prefixed with a fixed source description so that the model can tell what the information is, which panel it came from, and when.

Limits: State Memory notes are automatically generated event records; they may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate and are not an official record or evidence of any event. Answers the AI produces based on these notes may be wrong (Terms of Service §4.5).

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance — the personalized AI service you request); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). Transfer to the third-party AI provider is subject to the conditions in §3.5.

§3.7-G — Letter Writing Labels (Pasting and AI Output) and Letter-Writing Support

Purpose: The App is built around genuine human correspondence. For this reason, on the Direct Letter and General Letter writing screens, a summary "writing label" describing how the text was produced is delivered to the recipient together with the letter. The hint text on the writing screen informs the user of this in advance.

What is processed on the device: while you write, your device tracks whether each character of the text was typed on the keyboard, arrived through a single bulk insertion (pasting), or came from a feature that transfers artificial intelligence (LLM) output, such as "Add to letter" in Book or "Add to a letter" in the Culture Network / Time Network. To determine whether a single insertion above a certain length is a paste, the inserted text is compared with the text on your clipboard only at that moment and only on your device; the clipboard content is not stored and is not sent to the server or to the recipient. Cutting and moving your own text within the letter is not counted as pasting. This character-level trace is kept only in your device's memory and in your letter drafts.

What is sent to the recipient: only the summary label: (i) that all or almost all of the text was pasted directly ("Text was pasted directly — AI may have been used"); (ii) that part of the text was pasted, with its approximate proportion; and/or (iii) that LLM output was added to the letter. The typing sequence, the character map and clipboard content are not sent. The label travels inside the end-to-end encrypted envelope; for a General Letter it is kept on the server with the publication record and shown to the people who receive the letter. Before sending, the sender sees on the writing screen the label the recipient will see. The label is stored on both the sender's and the recipient's devices, matched to the letter.

The LLM-output label cannot be removed: once LLM output has been added to a letter, the "LLM output was added to the letter" label cannot be removed from that letter — or from a published General Letter, even if it is later edited — even if the related text is later deleted, edited or translated.

Nature and limits: writing labels are based on an automatic, heuristic assessment; they may be wrong in situations such as voice typing, keyboard suggestions, accessibility tools, autofill or devices with restricted clipboard access, and may not detect pastes made in small pieces. A label is not proof that the text was written by AI, that the sender is dishonest or that any rule has been broken, and it is not an AI-detection tool; it is information about how the text was entered only. The absence of a label does not guarantee that the text was written entirely by a human (Terms of Use §4-L).

Letter-writing support: if you tap "Struggling to express yourself while writing a letter?" at the bottom of the writing screens, Book opens; if you wish, a chat is started with the text you add, and a fixed instruction asking the AI to guide you towards finding your own words is added to that chat session as hidden context. The text of your letter is not transferred to this chat automatically; only what you write in the chat is sent. The chat is processed like other Book chats and is transmitted to the AI provider described in §3.5. Which session the support instruction belongs to is kept only on your device (last 30 sessions).

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c and Art.5/2-f; GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f) — providing the requested communication service and the legitimate interest in transparency in correspondence and in protecting genuine human communication. The label is stored together with the related letter or publication and for the same periods (§3.7-A, §3.7-C, §8).

§3.8 Virtual Currency ("Stamps") and Billing Data

Data collected: stamp-purchase transaction records, spending history, stamp gifts sent to or received from other users, balance corrections (see Terms of Service §2.1-A), and current balance. Card or bank details are never held by the Developer; payments are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play Billing. For the automated verification/correction mechanism that protects balance integrity, see Terms of Service §2.1-A.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-ç (legal obligation — tax legislation); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(c).

Retention: payment/purchase transaction records (including product/package information, amount, transaction date, and verification status) are retained for up to 10 (ten) years — even if you delete your account — under our legal retention obligations pursuant to Turkish Commercial Code Art. 82 and the Turkish Tax Procedure Law; the records are permanently deleted at the end of this period. This retention is solely for accounting/tax compliance and the resolution of potential legal disputes; the records are not used for any other purpose or shared with third parties.

Retention of other stamp movements: stamp movements other than real-money purchases (gifts sent or received, spending, and balance corrections) are retained for as long as your account is active and for 2 (two) years after your account is closed, for the purposes of account security, detecting and preventing fraud and abuse, protecting balance integrity, and establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims in potential disputes; at the end of this period they are permanently deleted. Where a movement is directly linked to a real-money purchase (e.g., the crediting or refund of purchased stamps), it is subject to the 10 (ten)-year retention period above. Records relating to a legal dispute, a request from a competent authority, or a fraud investigation that began before the period expired may be retained solely for that matter and only until it is concluded. Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance), Art.5/2-e (establishment, exercise, or protection of a right), and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f).

Subscription/quota-tracking data: although the Developer primarily relies on local (on-device) storage, it may hold a limited set of data on the server as necessary to accurately track premium subscriptions, one-time packages, and quota consumption — e.g., the transaction/order ID and subscription/license status from the store operator (Apple App Store/Google Play), device identifier, LLM and Stamp quota-usage records, and verified purchase records (product, date, store order number, and the amount and currency reported by the store). This data is processed only for subscription management, quota tracking, showing your in-app purchase history, fraud/abuse prevention, and compliance with legal obligations (tax, consumer law). No e-mail or payment information is collected: because purchases are made through the store (Google Play / Apple App Store), the Developer does not receive or process your e-mail address, name, billing address, or card/payment details. The receipt or invoice for a purchase is sent by the store to the e-mail address linked to your store account and is governed by the store's own privacy terms (see Terms of Sale, "Purchase history and receipts"). Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-ç (legal obligation); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(c).

§3.9 User Content and Moderation Data

Data collected: posts, comments, complaint/report notices, block lists.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-e (establishment/protection of a right); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f).

Retention: active content is kept until account deletion; moderation decisions and complaint records are kept for 2 years.

Local-storage principle and exception: as a matter of data minimization, the Developer defaults to storing user content and interaction data on-device. Safety- and compliance-oriented data — block lists, complaint/report records, and moderation decisions — may nonetheless also be held on the server under this §3.9. This exception may apply, in particular, to accounts found to have contacted minors (under 18) or shown behavior raising suspicion of serious offenses such as child sexual abuse, human trafficking, terrorism, or an imminent and serious threat to life safety; related moderation and security data for such accounts may be retained on the server beyond the 2-year period above, strictly for the above purposes and subject to proportionality.

Cooperation with competent authorities: while generally committed to data minimization, the Developer may share data with competent authorities and cooperate with them, pursuant to a court order, prosecutorial instruction, or a duly authorized official request from a legally empowered public body — in particular regarding accounts where suspicion of a serious offense clearly arises, such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), online enticement of children, human trafficking, terrorism financing, or an imminent threat to life safety. In Turkey, this cooperation rests on the exceptions under KVKK Art.5/2-ç (legal obligation) and Art.28/1; in the EU, on GDPR Art.6(1)(c) and Art.23. To the extent the Developer provides service through a US-law provider, reporting to bodies such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) based on actual knowledge acquired under 18 U.S.C. §2258A also falls within this scope. This provision does not impose a general obligation on the Developer to monitor or scan user communications; it only governs reporting and cooperation based on information actually acquired. The scope of the records that may be subject to such a request, their retention period, and the procedure for verifying a request are described in §3.9-D.

§3.9-A — Network and Connection Data Processed During Transmission

While transmitting a letter, SMS-like message, or any other in-app communication from one device to another, the server processes the following data to manage delivery: (i) IP address (to determine which client a packet came from and where to send the response); (ii) connection information (network data such as the TCP/UDP session, port number, session ID); (iii) a temporary buffer — holding the message in RAM until it reaches the destination device; (iv) a device identifier or session token — to route the message to the correct user.

The message's temporary buffer and the session data held in RAM for the duration of the connection are deleted once the message is delivered; for features using end-to-end encryption, the server cannot read message content — only the encrypted payload passes through. However, pursuant to the hosting-provider obligation under Law No. 5651 and KVKK Art.5/2-ç, the traffic information listed in §3.9-D, including the IP address (but excluding message content), is permanently recorded. The client's source port number is not recorded, because our infrastructure provider does not pass it to the App's server code.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — CHANGE: the statement in the previous version of this section that "the Developer does not currently maintain a permanent access log of IP addresses and connection information" ceases to apply as of the effective date of this version. Exercising the right it reserved in this same section for security, abuse-prevention, and legal-compliance purposes, and in order to fulfil its legal obligation, the Developer has implemented the traffic record described in §3.9-D.

§3.9-B — Pre-Send Risk Screening (On-Device Pre-Check)

Because the server cannot see message content on end-to-end-encrypted communication features, automated safety and abuse-prevention checks may run on the user's own device before a message reaches the server. Where the system assesses a message as potentially risky — this applies not to every message, but to exceptional situations triggered by the server due to complaint history or risk indicators — the message content may be sent, solely for risk assessment and without the account ID number, to the LLM API tied to the user's own subscription/quota; the message text is not anonymized, and any personal information in it is transmitted to the provider.

The model used for this assessment does not retain the message content; it produces only a risk score or a "send / warn / block" decision. The user's explicit consent is requested before this process begins; if the user does not consent, the message is not sent and is blocked. If the user consents and proceeds to send, this operation is deducted from the user's own LLM quota. After consent, a message assessed as not risky is transmitted end-to-end encrypted; the server sees only the encrypted message, not the content.

Escalation to human moderators: risk scoring may be escalated to a limited number of authorized human moderators only for content classified as high risk — in particular, risk indicators detected in communication with a minor, suspected CSAM, an imminent and serious threat to life safety, or suspected terrorism or human trafficking. The system does not create a misleading impression of being "fully private, no one can see it"; the automated screening and exceptional human-review possibility described in this section are clearly disclosed to the user. Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-ç and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(c) and Art.6(1)(f).

§3.9-C — Detection of Undesired Activity and Multiple Accounts (Abuse Prevention)

To protect the security of the service — detecting fake-account creation, multi-account abuse, chargeback/fraud attempts, and abuse of promotion/reward systems (e.g., Generation Orbit) — the system may automatically evaluate technical and relational metadata such as device identifiers, connections made from the same network (IP), and interaction patterns between accounts. This evaluation is a security-oriented correlation process and is not used to enrich the user's profile for marketing purposes or for sharing with third parties.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest) and Art.5/2-ç (legal obligation); GDPR Art.6(1)(f). This processing is interpreted together with the payment-fraud and abuse-prevention provisions in Terms of Service §8.2. The user may request information about this evaluation by exercising their rights under §6.

§3.9-C.1 — Automated Stamp-Integrity Checks and Temporary Sending Restriction

What happens: if the system detects an unexpected discrepancy in your virtual-item (Stamp) balance or an unusual usage pattern, it may, in order to protect account security and the integrity of virtual items, restrict your account's sending features (letters, messages, sharing, etc.) temporarily — typically for 36 hours — without waiting for human approval. During this restriction, your access to your account and existing content continues; only sending functions are affected.

Nature of the automated decision and GDPR Article 22: this restriction is a decision reached solely through automated processing and capable of producing a legal effect on the user; it falls within the scope of GDPR Art.22 and KVKK Art.11/g. Accordingly: (i) every automated restriction is logged for review; (ii) the user may object and request human review via the In-App Requests page or [email protected]; (iii) a restriction found to be mistaken is lifted immediately. This right of objection is the application, to this specific scenario, of the general automated-decision objection mechanism described in §6.4.4.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — account security and virtual-item integrity) and Art.5/2-ç; GDPR Art.6(1)(f) and Art.22(3) (suitable safeguards — the right to obtain human intervention, to express a point of view, and to contest the decision).

§3.9-D — Traffic (Metadata) Records, Statutory Retention, and Requests from Competent Authorities

Why they are kept: as a hosting provider that enables communication between users, the Developer is required under Article 5 of Law No. 5651 and the related regulation to retain traffic information and to ensure its accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality. These records are also used to keep the service secure, to prevent abuse, and to defend the Developer against legal claims.

Data recorded (message content EXCLUDED): the type of operation (sending, receipt, or deletion-without-delivery of a letter/telegraph/SMS/postcard/live chat, etc.; account creation, account deletion, identity recovery, complaint, session/access); date and time to the millisecond according to server time; the identity number (kimlik_no) of the acting account and, where applicable, of the counterparty, and the username declared with the transmission; the message/operation reference number; the IP address (IPv4/IPv6) and the approximate country, region, city, postal code, and time zone derived from it, together with network-operator (ASN) information; the infrastructure provider's request ID; connection-protocol information; the client identifier (User-Agent); a one-way digest of the device identifier; app version and platform; the size of the transmission, whether it is end-to-end encrypted, and whether it contains a steganographic image; an irreversible SHA-256 digest ("fingerprint") of the content and of the image; the message-franking commitment described in §3.9-E; and attempted requests made with an account's identity whose signature could not be verified.

Data not recorded: the content of messages, letters, telegraphs, chats, and images; steganographic hidden messages; GPS coordinates; name, phone number, or e-mail address. Digests (fingerprints) cannot be used to recover content; they only allow a later-submitted piece of content to be matched to the transmission it came from.

How and where they are kept: records wait on the server only in a temporary queue; they are transferred to the Developer's authorized administration system and are not deleted from the server until the transfer has been verified. The permanent copy is kept in an encrypted, off-server record system accessible only to personnel authorized by the Developer. Records cannot be altered afterwards: each record is digitally signed by the server and linked to the previous record through chained digests; access to, export of, and destruction of records are logged separately.

Retention period: at least one (1) and at most two (2) years. Expired records are destroyed with a written destruction record. Records within the scope of an ongoing judicial or administrative proceeding ("legal hold") are not destroyed until that proceeding is concluded.

Account deletion: when you delete your account, your account data on the server is deleted in accordance with §3-E and §8. However, the traffic records that we are required by law to keep continue to be retained for the statutory period even after the account is deleted; KVKK permits records kept under a legal obligation to be retained for that period (KVKK Art.5/2-ç, Art.7, and the Regulation on the Erasure, Destruction or Anonymization of Personal Data). Your rights to information about and access to these records under §6 remain reserved.

With whom and how they are shared: these records are shared only upon a court order, a letter from a Public Prosecutor's Office, or a duly issued official request from a public body authorized by law; only after the authenticity of the request has been verified through an official channel; and only to the extent of the persons, IP addresses, and date range specified in the request. If message content is requested, the authority is informed that we have no technical access to end-to-end encrypted content. In emergencies involving a threat to life, the relevant authorities may be informed on our own initiative. Each request received, the response given, and the digest of the file delivered are recorded.

Impersonation alert: if someone attempts to send requests using your account's identity without your private key, those requests are rejected, written to the traffic record as "failed signature attempts," and forwarded to your App as a security alert. The IP address of the party making the attempt is not forwarded to you. These records are not treated as acts of your own account.

No promise of anonymity: the App protects the confidentiality of message content; however, the Developer makes no promise that communication is anonymous, leaves no trace, or cannot be traced. The App may not be used as a "safe channel" for unlawful activity (see Acceptable Use Policy §3.3).

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-ç (legal obligation — Law No. 5651 Art.5), Art.5/2-e (establishment, exercise, or protection of a right), and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — service security); for transfers to competent authorities, KVKK Art.8/2 and Art.28/1. For EU/EEA users, GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — since obligations arising from Turkish law may not qualify under GDPR Art.6(1)(c)), and Art.6(1)(c) where required by EU or Member State law. Cross-border transfer: the temporary queue is hosted by the infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) described in §5.

§3.9-E — In-Message Reporting, Consent-Based Content Review, and Message Franking

Report: you can report a person or a single message using the "Report" option on the Telegraph, SMS, letter, postcard, live chat, and other-user profile screens. The content of the message is not attached to the report by default; it is attached only if you explicitly choose "report with content," and you can still remove it at the final step before sending. Attached content is used only to review the report, to remove unlawful content where necessary, and to notify competent authorities.

Message franking (report evidence): because the Developer cannot see the content of an end-to-end encrypted message, the following method is applied to letters and postcards to guard against a reporter fabricating or altering content: for each message, the sender's device generates a random key and a "commitment" derived with that key from the digests of the content and the image; the key travels only to the recipient inside the encrypted message, while the commitment is sent to the server in the clear. Without seeing the content, the server digitally signs the commitment together with the sender, the recipient, the message number, and the time, and writes it to the traffic record in §3.9-D. On delivery, the recipient's device recomputes and verifies the commitment itself and stores the key (for the last 300 messages). When the recipient reports a message together with its content, the key and content digests are attached to the report as well, so the Developer can verify that the reported content really came from the sender concerned, at the time concerned, and was not altered. This method does not decrypt content; no content information reaches the Developer for messages that are not reported.

Steganographic postcards: in postcard reports, the image's fingerprint is attached to the report; if the hidden text is not password-protected it may be attached with the reporter's consent, and if it is password-protected the reporter may type the decoded text into the description. For verification, the Developer may separately ask the reporter for the image file.

False reports: a report whose attached content has been altered or fabricated can be detected through franking verification; knowingly making a false report is subject to sanctions under Acceptable Use Policy §7.5.

Legal basis: for attaching content to a report, KVKK Art.5/1 and GDPR Art.6(1)(a) (explicit consent); for reviewing the report and processing the franking evidence, KVKK Art.5/2-e, Art.5/2-f, and GDPR Art.6(1)(f). Where a message contains data relating to third parties, that data is processed only for the purpose of, and to the extent necessary for, reviewing the report.

§3.9-F — Interaction Permissions and Blocking

Interaction permissions: in Settings > Privacy & Security > Interaction permissions, you can separately turn off other users sending you reflections (live-chat invitations), starting a simulation with you, talking with your Reflection, sending you chat sessions (§3.7-E), and starting a sociocultural environment analysis on your profile (§3.15-A). Because the sociocultural environment analysis runs on the other person's device, this permission is checked with the server before the analysis starts; if it cannot be verified, the analysis is not started. Interactions you turn off are rejected by the server; before spending a stamp, the sender only learns whether the interaction is currently possible.

Blocking: the account ID numbers of users you block (up to 500) are also recorded on our servers, and a blocked person cannot carry out these interactions with you; your device also does not save new content from blocked people or from types you have turned off. Your block list is never shown to any user; a person you block is not told directly that they are blocked and only sees that this kind of interaction is not currently possible.

Limits: blocking and permissions apply from the moment you change the setting; they do not recall content already delivered and held on the other party's device (§3.11-B).

Retention and legal basis: your preferences and block list are kept on the server solely to block these interactions; the record is deleted when all permissions are on and the block list is empty, and when you delete your account. KVKK Art.5/2-c and Art.5/2-f; GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f).

§3.10 Notification Data and Push Notifications

IMPORTANT NOTICE — CHANGE: the statement in the previous version of this section that "Currently, only local (on-device) push notifications are used; there is no remote/cloud-based notification server" ceased to apply as of the effective date of this version. The App now uses the remote notification infrastructure described below.

Infrastructure: the App uses Google LLC's Firebase Cloud Messaging ("FCM") service to notify you of events. For this purpose Firebase generates a notification identifier specific to your device (FCM token); the App registers this identifier with the Developer's server through a signed request that verifies your identity. As of the effective date of this Policy, remote notifications are enabled on Android devices; when they are enabled on iOS devices, Apple's notification infrastructure (Apple Push Notification service) will be used for the same data categories and purposes, and this section will be updated under §10.

Notification data held on the server (on Cloudflare infrastructure): the notification identifier (FCM token) and the account identity number (kimlik_no) it is linked to; your selected app language; your time-zone offset; the notification types you have turned off; your notification-sound preference; the time slot for the weekly news suggestion; the time of the next DMN (inner balance) prompt; and, so that the arrival time of letters can be calculated in the same way as in the App, the country stated on your profile. No more than 5 device records are held per account.

Events that trigger notifications: letters, SMS-style messages, telegraphs, and postcards sent to you; conversations involving your Reflection ("Someone is talking about you"); simulations run about you (§3.5.7-B); live-chat invitations; Reflection hosting notifications (§3.5.13); system notifications concerning your account (e.g., stamp-balance corrections or temporary restrictions under §3.9-C.1); a weekly news-suggestion signal (§3.5.12-A); and a DMN (inner balance) prompt signal every 3–7 days. The news-suggestion and DMN signals carry no content; the text displayed and the selection of the news item take place on your device.

Content of notifications: notifications do not carry the content of messages, letters, or chats and do not include the sender's username; they consist of generic text (e.g., "You have a new letter"). Exception — letter notifications: when a letter is sent to you, the country stated on the sender's profile and the estimated arrival time are shown in a "letter on its way" notification; when the delivery time has elapsed, a second "your letter has arrived" notification containing the sender's country is sent, and the letter's stamp image may be shown in it. The stamp image is downloaded by your device only from the generationnetwork.app address that hosts the App's own stamp files; in doing so, our infrastructure provider Cloudflare processes your device's IP address as part of a standard web request.

Notifications for users who send letters: when you send a letter, the country stated on your profile is shown to the recipient as described above and passes through Google's notification infrastructure. For notification scheduling, the recipient's identity number, your country, the address of the stamp image, and the time at which the notification is to be sent are held on the server; this record is deleted when the "letter arrived" notification is sent and is never held for more than 3 days. This record does not contain the content of the letter or your account identity.

Data processed by Google: to deliver the notification to your device, FCM necessarily processes the notification identifier, the notification text (including the sender's country in letter notifications), and the time the notification was sent. Because the notification identifier is linked to a specific device, this data is treated as indirectly identifiable personal data. For FCM, Google acts as a processor (service provider) on the Developer's behalf, subject to the Firebase data-processing terms (§3-B.2(vii)).

Control and deletion: you can turn notification types off individually under Settings > Notifications; the types you turn off are reported to the server and are never sent to you. When you turn off "All notifications" or the main push-notification switch, your notification device record on the server is deleted. When you uninstall the App, Google invalidates the notification identifier and the server automatically deletes this record at the first delivery attempt. These records are also deleted under §8 if you delete your account. Turning off notification permission in your device's operating-system settings prevents notifications from being displayed; to delete the record on the server, you need to use the in-app setting above.

Not commercial communications: the notifications described in this section do not contain promotions of goods or services or campaigns; news suggestions point to third-party news content. If the Developer ever decides to send commercial electronic messages (campaigns, discounts, promotions) by notification, it will do so only with your prior consent under Turkish Law No. 6563 and related legislation and in compliance with the Message Management System (İYS) rules, and, for users in other jurisdictions, in accordance with the applicable electronic-marketing rules.

Legal basis: for notifications about messages, letters, simulations, and account events concerning you, KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and GDPR Art.6(1)(b); for the weekly news-suggestion and DMN prompt signals, KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — each can be turned off separately in Settings); for showing the sender's country to the recipient in letter notifications, KVKK Art.5/2-c and GDPR Art.6(1)(b) (part of the letter service). Transfers abroad are subject to §5.

Retention: the notification device record is kept until you turn notifications off, uninstall the App (until the first delivery attempt at which the invalid identifier is detected), or delete your account; the scheduled letter-notification record is kept for no more than 3 days.

§3.11 Decentralized (Peer-to-Peer) Distribution of Shared Content — Limits on Deletion and Updates

Rather than permanently storing user shares (posts, life stories, etc.) on a central server, the App uses an architecture designed to distribute them across devices. In this architecture, the Routing Server performs only transmission and routing; it is not a permanent central repository of shared content.

How it works: when a share is created, the content is first prepared on the user's device, reviewed by the Reflection, and forwarded to the System Agent. The System Agent evaluates the content against ethical rules, safety policies, and system protocols, applies the necessary tagging, and forwards it to the Routing Server. The Routing Server distributes the content across the network by identifying initial recipients only, without storing it. When content reaches recipient devices, the same verification and evaluation process is re-run on the recipient side.

IMPORTANT LIMITATION: given the nature of this architecture, shared content may not be instantly retractable from, or simultaneously updated on, every device it has reached once distributed. Because content may already be processing on another device at the moment an update or deletion request is sent, the Developer cannot guarantee that changes will propagate to devices that already received the content. This is not a technical malfunction but a design consequence of the decentralized architecture. By sharing, the user is deemed to have acknowledged this operating principle and to have given explicit consent to sharing under these conditions.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). Deletion requests concerning copies under the Developer's control are honored under §8; control over copies already distributed to recipient devices is inherently limited by the nature of the architecture.

§3.11.A — User Communication and P2P Infrastructure Liability

The App may use peer-to-peer (P2P), end-to-end encryption, or similar secure-communication technologies to enable communication between users. Responsibility for creating, sharing, and using messages, files, media, and other content sent by users lies with those users.

The App provider does not create, edit, publish, or control on users' behalf the content of private communications between users. Given the technical architecture, access to some communication content may not be possible. That said, if the system is updated or technical requirements change, metadata (connection information, timestamps, and similar technical data) passes through routing servers; except for the traffic records retained under legal obligation pursuant to §3.9-D, such data is deleted within 30 days at the latest and is processed only temporarily, for technical operation.

Users agree to use the App in compliance with applicable law, third-party rights, and service rules. The App provider reserves the right to take necessary technical and administrative measures for security, abuse prevention, or compliance with legal obligations.

The App cannot be held liable, within the scope of applicable mandatory law, for the accuracy, lawfulness, or consequences of content arising from users' private communications. This disclaimer does not eliminate the mandatory retention and notification obligations under Law No. 5651 and its Article 8/A, or GDPR Art.6(1)(c); the Developer reserves its right and responsibility to fulfil those obligations.

§3.11-B — Retention of Reflection Data on Recipient Devices ("Caching") and Pen-Pal Reflections

Reflection data a user has opened to the outside may be saved and retained for an extended period by any recipient device that receives it; this is referred to in the App as "caching." Relevant notices and warnings about this are built into the App interface.

User control: the user can send a corresponding signal/instruction to the system to prevent their own Reflection from being cached on another device. However, the Developer does not guarantee that this blocking request will succeed in every case — reasons outside the Developer's direct and reasonable control include server error, network outage, the recipient device being offline, or the recipient device's technical state.

IMPORTANT RISK STATEMENT & USER CONSENT: when a user opens their Reflection to the outside (to other users or pen pals), they act knowing and accepting that there is a risk of that Reflection's data being cached on recipient devices, and that this risk — despite the Developer's reasonable technical measures — cannot be entirely eliminated in every case. The user personally configures their Reflection's visibility settings from the Settings panel; the App provides the necessary information before these settings are applied. The Developer cannot be held liable for caching situations arising from the nature of the architecture described here, or their consequences, except in cases of intent or gross negligence.

Pen-pal Reflections: Reflection data belonging to a user's pen pals under §3.7-A may also be retained on the counterparty's device, under the same technical architecture and the same caching risk. All rules and liability limitations in this section apply by analogy to pen-pal Reflection data as well.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance); GDPR Art.6(1)(b). This processing rests on the user's explicit and informed choice to open their Reflection to the outside — a natural consequence of the decentralized architecture described in §3.11.

§3.11-C — Guest Reflection: Time-Limited Chat Access to a Cached Profile

What it does: from the moment another user's profile is first viewed, the ability to chat with that user's Reflection ("Talk to their Reflection") is limited to a randomly determined period set by the system (between 1 and 7 days). Chat is possible during this period; once it expires, the chat capability ends automatically. An indicator at the top of the profile page shows this status.

Extending access ("recall"): once the period has expired, the user can initiate a "recall" request for 1 standard postage stamp. This request is made by showing the user a fixed, pre-written "Request Letter" and obtaining their confirmation. After a randomly determined delay (between 1 hour and 1 day), the system extends access for 7 more days with roughly a 70% probability; with roughly a 30% probability, the request is denied (the stamp spent is not refunded). This cycle may be repeated an unlimited number of times.

IMPORTANT NOTICE — ENTIRELY LOCAL, NARRATIVE MECHANISM: the "recall" request and the resulting accept/deny probability is an interface element for narrative purposes ONLY, which changes only the state of the cache record on the user's OWN device. NO DATA OR NOTIFICATION OF ANY KIND IS SENT to the device or account of the real person the request is about; that person is not informed of this process and does not make any decision. The chance of denial is a purely system-determined random outcome and does not reflect any choice made by the other person. The "Request Letter" text is fixed; the user cannot enter free text.

Relationship to cache capacity: this time limit operates independently of, and takes priority over, the caching mechanism described above and the profile cache's capacity limit (at most 300 people). When the cache is full, profiles that have never been viewed are deleted first; even if a user's guest-access period is still active, if their row is removed entirely from the cache due to capacity pressure, everything related to that guest-access period is lost along with it.

Not a new data-sharing event: this section does not expand the sharing scope described in §3.5.9-B; it only limits, and offers a mechanism to extend, the duration of access to a copy that has already been shared/cached.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f).

§3.11-D — Automatic Deletion and "Automatically Forgotten Items" Traces

The App automatically deletes some records that accumulate on your device (e.g., notifications, delivered letters, telegraphs, incoming simulation and Reflection results, postcards, Reflection Posts, similarity history, saved news, sleep and step summaries, thought-flow analyses, emotional learning and motivation records, simulation records) when they reach certain count or time limits. The deleted record itself is not kept; only a trace consisting of the date, the reason, and a short summary (e.g., a notification or news headline; for incoming records whose sender has not yet been revealed, only the record number) is shown for 90 days in the "Automatically Forgotten Items" panel on your device and is then deleted. Account deletion and deletion of all data also delete these traces. Effects that deleted data previously had on your Reflection's emotional and personality state may continue for a while; these effects are not reversed retroactively. Technical logs and content caches retrieved from the server leave no trace.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.4/2 and Art.7 (data minimisation and periodic destruction) and Art.5/2-c; GDPR Art.5(1)(c), (e) and Art.6(1)(b).

§3.12 Emails Sent to the Developer (@generationnetwork.app Addresses)

Scope: emails you send to info@, support@, security@, business@, billing@, legal@, and [email protected] are subject to this section. These addresses are the Developer's official communication channels, including for data-subject requests under §6.

Data processed: the sender's name and email address, recipient addresses, subject, the plain-text body of the email, attachments, and the technical results used to verify the email's authenticity (SPF/DKIM/DMARC); and any other information you include in your email or its attachments (including information about third parties).

Where it is held: incoming emails are stored on Cloudflare, Inc.'s email-routing and database infrastructure, and a copy is forwarded to the Developer's account on Google LLC's Gmail service. These records can be accessed only through the Developer's authorized administration panel (permitted accounts).

Purpose: answering your request, question, or report; handling support, billing, and vulnerability reports; responding to data-subject requests under KVKK Art.13 and GDPR Art.12 and proving that they were answered; defending against legal claims; and conducting correspondence with competent authorities.

Retention: (i) general information, support, and partnership correspondence — 2 (two) years from the conclusion of the request; (ii) data-subject requests, legal notices, correspondence with authorities, and correspondence relating to a dispute or a payment/refund request — for the applicable statutory retention and limitation periods, up to a maximum of 10 (ten) years; (iii) emails marked as unsolicited (spam) or malicious — moved to the trash and deleted automatically after 30 days. Correspondence whose period has expired is deleted both from the Cloudflare infrastructure and from the Gmail copy. Correspondence relating to a dispute or official request that began before the period expired may be retained until that process is concluded.

Your responsibility: please do not include in emails to us special-category personal data (health, religion, sex life, etc.) that is not needed for your request, information about third parties, or secret information such as passwords or recovery phrases. The Developer will never ask for your 12-word recovery phrase or private key in order to answer a request.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance — support requests), Art.5/2-ç (legal obligation — answering data-subject requests), Art.5/2-e (establishment, exercise, or protection of a right), and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b), (c), and (f). Special-category data you choose to share in your email is processed only to the extent necessary to answer your request. Transfers abroad are subject to §5.

§3.12-A — Website Contact and Test-User Forms (Privacy Notice)

Scope: the "Get in touch" and "Become a test user" forms on the generationnetwork.app home page and org page, the forms that open when you press the App Store or Google Play buttons, and the "Feedback survey", "Become a tester" and "Write to us" forms on the Testing & Feedback page (generationnetwork.app/test). The data controller is the Developer named in §1.

Data processed: in the contact form, your name, email address and message; in a test-user request, only your email address. In the feedback survey: your email address, your name if you enter it, your ratings and answers (overall and per-area ratings, how often the app crashed, the parts you used, how likely you are to recommend it), the device model, Android version, app version and testing period you choose to enter, and your free-text answers. Alongside these we record the type of request, the platform (Android/iOS), the page the form was sent from, the site language, the time of sending and the fact that you ticked the consent box. Your IP address is not written to the form record; technical data Cloudflare processes while delivering the request is covered by §3.13.

Purposes: (i) to answer your contact message; (ii) for a test-user request, to email you an invitation, joining instructions and updates about the test process when test rounds begin; (iii) for the feedback survey, to evaluate your feedback, find and fix bugs, improve the App and, if needed, to email you about your feedback; (iv) to prevent abuse of the forms (spam, automated submissions). Within the scope of your consent, your email address may also be used to send occasional news or a newsletter about Generation Network in addition to test-process messages; every message includes a way to opt out. It is never sold or rented to third parties.

Legal basis: for contact messages and the feedback survey, KVKK Art. 5/2-c (acting on your request) and Art. 5/2-f (legitimate interest); for test-process emails and occasional news or newsletters, the explicit consent you give by ticking the box in the form (KVKK Art. 5/1); GDPR Art. 6(1)(a), (b) and (f). The form fields are needed to process your request; if you do not fill them in, the only consequence is that the request is not sent.

Where it is stored and who receives it: the form record is written to the [email protected] mailbox (to the [email protected] mailbox for everything sent from the Testing & Feedback page) on Cloudflare, Inc. infrastructure (Workers and D1), and a copy is forwarded to the Developer's account on Google LLC's Gmail service; it is kept in the same place and under the same access rules as the emails in §3.12. These providers are based in the USA; international transfers are subject to §5.

Retention: contact messages follow the periods in §3.12. Test-user requests and feedback-survey submissions are kept until the test rounds end and the App becomes generally available, and in any case for no longer than 2 (two) years from receipt; they are deleted without delay if you withdraw your consent.

Withdrawing consent and your rights: you can leave the test mailing at any time by replying "unsubscribe" to any test email we send you, or by writing to [email protected]. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before it. For your rights under KVKK Art. 11 and GDPR Arts. 15-22, see §6.

Age limit: test rounds are open only to people aged 18 or over. If you are under 18, please do not send a test-user request; requests found to come from someone under 18 are deleted.

Commercial electronic messages: test invitations and test-process updates are sent at your request. Occasional news or newsletter messages rely on the consent you give in the form; where content may qualify as a commercial electronic message under Turkish Law No. 6563 or other applicable law, your consent and a right to opt out in every message are ensured.

§3.13 Website (generationnetwork.app): Hosting, Visit Measurement, and External Resources

Hosting: the generationnetwork.app website and this Legal Center are hosted on Cloudflare, Inc. infrastructure. When you visit the site, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and the standard request information sent by your browser in order to deliver the page to you and protect the site against attacks, under its own privacy policy and the data-processing terms between it and the Developer.

Visit measurement (Cloudflare Web Analytics): Cloudflare Web Analytics is used to measure use of the site. This tool does not use cookies, does not store identifiers on your device, and does not make your IP address available to the Developer; the Developer sees only aggregate counts (pages visited, country, referring site, browser and device type). This measurement is not used to identify you, to track you across sites or apps, or for advertising. Because the site does not use cookies, no cookie consent banner is shown.

External resources: the site's fonts and images are served from the Developer's own domain; when viewing the pages, your browser does not connect to third-party servers such as Google Fonts to load fonts or icons, and your IP address is not transmitted to third parties for that purpose. Links on the site to app stores, social media, video, and documents lead to third-party sites; processing on those sites is subject to the relevant provider's own privacy policy.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — delivering the site securely and measuring its use in aggregate); GDPR Art.6(1)(f). Transfers abroad are subject to §5.

§3.14 Usage Statistics, Account Status Summary, and Technical Telemetry

What is sent: at most once a day, the App sends usage and technical data held on your device to our server as summary figures rather than raw records, through a signed request that verifies your identity. This summary may include: crash and error counts, network-type distribution, performance and memory averages, launch time, visit counts for screens, feature-usage counters, the daily total time the App was open in the foreground and the Reflection was active, number of sessions; subscription package, add-on package, and stamp purchase status; Reflection and content completeness levels (memories, experiences, encyclopedia, life stages); the gender on your profile (an LGBTQ+ selection is sent only on the basis of the explicit consent you give in the window shown at the time of that selection, which expressly covers this transmission), year of birth, generation, country, and city; operating system and version, device model, screen resolution, App version, language, and time zone; a one-way hash of a device identifier; security mode, number of guardians, the device's root/jailbreak status, and indicators of clock manipulation and stamp/quota anomalies. Error messages, detailed screen navigation sequences, and message and chat content are not sent.

How it is kept on the server: (i) part of this data is kept in a single "account status summary" record linked to your account ID number and overwritten daily; this record also contains a risk class calculated for security and abuse detection (§3.9-C); (ii) other data is added to daily, weekly, and monthly total counters that are not linked to your identity; (iii) some totals are deleted from the server after being transferred to the Developer's administration panel.

Purpose: monitoring and improving the App's stability and performance, measuring feature use in aggregate, subscription and quota management, ensuring account security, and detecting fraud and abuse (§3.9-C). This data is not used for ad targeting, is not sold, and is not shared with third parties.

Retention: the account status summary is kept while your account is active and is deleted when you delete your account; total counters not linked to identity contain no personal data and may be kept without a time limit.

Control and objection: this measurement runs by default and there is currently no separate switch to turn it off in the App. You can object to this processing under GDPR Art.21 and KVKK Art.11 by writing to [email protected]; your objection is considered except for the part required for security and fraud prevention.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (subscription and quota management) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — improvement and security of the service and prevention of abuse); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f). For an LGBTQ+ selection, KVKK Art.6/2 and GDPR Art.9(2)(a) (explicit consent). The server infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare; transfers abroad are subject to §5.

§3.14-A — Crash and Error Reports (Firebase Crashlytics)

What is sent: when a crash or an uncaught error occurs, the release (store) version of the App sends an error report to Google LLC's Firebase Crashlytics service. The report contains: the type of the error and its stack trace (where in the code the error occurred); a shortened error text stripped of personal data (email addresses, long identifiers such as the account ID number and keys, long numbers, and link parameters are masked on your device before sending); device model and manufacturer, operating system version, App version, free memory and disk space, screen orientation, battery and root status, the time of the report, and a random installation ID that Crashlytics generates for the App installation. Your account ID number, username, and the content of your messages, letters, chats, and Reflection are not sent to Crashlytics, and reports are not linked to your account. No reports are sent from development (debug) builds of the App.

Relationship to §3.14: the statement in §3.14 that "error messages are not sent" refers to the daily summary sent to the Developer's own server. The Crashlytics report is separate and contains the masked error text described above.

Purpose: detecting and fixing crashes and errors and monitoring the App's stability. This data is not used for advertising or profiling and is not sold.

Retention: reports are kept in Firebase Crashlytics for the period set by Google (90 days at the time of writing) and are then deleted automatically.

Legal basis, transfer, and objection: KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — providing the service securely and reliably). For Crashlytics, Google acts as a data processor under the Firebase data processing and security terms (firebase.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms); data may be processed in the USA, and transfers abroad are subject to §5. You can object to this processing under GDPR Art.21 and KVKK Art.11 by writing to [email protected].

§3.14-B — Runtime Security Check (Talsec freeRASP)

Who it runs for: this check runs only for users of Bring Your Own API or Model within Model (who have saved their own API key or opened these screens); for all other users freeRASP is not started and no data is sent to Talsec.

What is done: the Android version of the App uses Talsec s.r.o.'s freeRASP security library to check the device and the App's runtime environment: whether the device is rooted, whether monitoring/modification tools are attached to the App (e.g., hooking frameworks, debuggers), whether it runs on an emulator, and whether the copy of the App carries the official signature.

What is sent to Talsec: freeRASP sends the technical results of this check to Talsec: the security state of the App and the device (e.g., which risk was detected, operating system and App version), an app installation ID and a device ID generated by freeRASP, and the IP address of the request (from which Talsec may derive approximate location and network operator). Your account ID number, username, API keys, and the content of your messages, letters, chats, and Reflection are not sent to Talsec; the Developer does not give Talsec any identifier that could be linked to your account.

Result of a detection: if a monitoring tool (hook) or a debugger attached to the App is detected, the user's own API key (Bring Your Own API and Model within Model, Terms of Service §3-A.1 and §3-A.3) is not decrypted for that session and no request is made with it. When root, an emulator, or a signature mismatch is detected, only a warning is shown on the relevant screen. These results are kept on the device and are not sent to the Developer's server. Screenshots and screen recording are blocked on the screens where your own API key is entered.

Purpose: protecting user keys and account security, and preventing misuse of the App through modified copies and fraud. This data is not used for advertising or profiling and is not sold by the Developer.

Retention: the data is kept on Talsec-managed cloud infrastructure (USA) for the period set by Talsec. Because this function is a security measure, it cannot be turned off within the App.

Legal basis, transfer, and objection: KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — security of the service and its users). Talsec acts as a data processor for this processing; data may be processed in the USA, and transfers abroad are subject to §5. You can object to this processing under GDPR Art.21 and KVKK Art.11 by writing to [email protected].

§3.14-C — App and Device Integrity Verification (Google Play Integrity)

What is done: at most once a day, the Android version of the App asks Google LLC's Play Integrity service for a signed result showing whether the App is an unmodified copy installed from Google Play and whether the device meets basic integrity requirements. Google Play services produce this result on your device; the App sends it to the Developer's server in a signed request that verifies your identity, and the server has Google verify it.

Data stored: the Developer's server keeps, together with your account ID number, only the time and the result of the latest check (whether the app is recognized, device integrity, and licensing status); each new check overwrites the previous one. This record is deleted when your account is deleted.

Purpose and use: preventing misuse of rewards and the service through modified copies of the App, automation, and fake accounts. When abuse is detected, the Developer may require a valid integrity result for certain rewards (e.g., stamps for rewarded ads). This data is not used for advertising or profiling and is not sold.

Legal basis, transfer, and objection: KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — security of the service and its users). Data sent to Google is subject to Google's own terms and may be processed in the USA; transfers abroad are subject to §5. You can object to this processing by writing to [email protected].

§3.15 Culture Network (Anthropology, Etymology and Language Evolution Panels)

What is processed: the language you choose from the "Languages you know" list in your profile; the sentence you type into the "Search etymological origins" box; the messages you write in the anthropologist conversation; the content of the panels you select to add to the conversation; the country and known languages declared in your profile (only as context for comparisons); your choices in the "If you had been born there" test and the values you set on the Value Compass.

What is sent to AI: your sentence, your conversation messages (the last 15 exchanges), the text of the panels you select, a short summary of the page generated on your device and your profile country/language information are sent to the AI provider described in §3.5.3 (by default Google LLC — Gemini; the provider you chose if "Bring Your Own API" is active) to generate content and replies. Your identity number, username and contact details are not added to these calls. We recommend that you do not share special categories of personal data such as health, religion, ethnic origin or political opinions in this conversation; if you do, you are deemed to do so of your own explicit will.

What is stored on the device: (i) generated panel content is stored on your device only if you tap "Save"; (ii) the anthropologist conversation is kept on your device (at most 200 messages per culture); (iii) short records of your Culture Network activity (which culture you explored, test match, value-compass distance, panels added to a letter, friend searches, topics discussed) are listed under Consciousness Layer > Unstructured Thoughts and may be used as context in your Reflection's conversation memory; you can delete these records one by one there; (iv) when you leave the page, your conversation may be sent to AI using the same method as the Deepening feature (see §3.5) to produce at most three inferences about you, written in the language of probability, which are saved to the relevant Consciousness Layer category (Culture, Sociological Findings, Interest). These inferences are not certain facts; you can delete or edit them in the Consciousness Layer. This data is not stored on the Developer's server.

"Find a friend from that region": the search runs only over the declared country of genepool profiles already on your device; no new query is sent to the server. If you answer yes to "Shall we let you know?", the tracking is kept on your device, the country of profiles newly arriving on your device is checked locally, and at the first match you are shown a notification and the tracking ends. This feature does not guarantee any match or introduction.

"Add to a letter": the panel's content is transferred to the General Letter writing screen with a heading line that includes your username. The letter is not sent anywhere unless you press send; when you send it, §3.6 and §3.11 apply.

Map data: the world map in the Culture Network is generated from Natural Earth data, which is in the public domain, and is drawn locally within the App; no request is sent to a third-party map server for the map. Country borders and names are for display only and do not express any political view or recognition.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c and GDPR Art.6(1)(b) (providing the feature requested by the user); for profile inferences and activity records, KVKK Art.5/2-f and GDPR Art.6(1)(f) (legitimate interest — personalising the Reflection experience). You can object to this processing through the avenues in §6 and delete the records in the Consciousness Layer. Transfers abroad are subject to §5.

§3.15-A — Sociocultural Environment Analysis (Another User's Profile)

What it does: the "Analyse their sociocultural environment to understand them" button in the Information panel of another user's Global Profile page opens the Culture Network simulation (§3.15) for the country declared in that person's profile (KP-memory) — or, if no country is given, for the language they know best — and, in a closable bar at the top of the page, shows an AI estimate of roughly what percentage of the profile data the person has shared overlaps with that sociocultural environment.

What data goes where: on the device of the user who starts the analysis, a shortened summary is built from the other person's KP-memory data already shared with you (declared country and location, generation, known languages, interests, biography, personality traits and notes, deep summary, life-story and experience headings, frequently visited places), and this summary is sent, together with the summary of the simulation page generated on the device, to the AI provider described in §3.5.3. The person's identity number, username and contact details are not added to this call. The AI is instructed not to draw inferences about special categories of personal data such as ethnic origin, race, religion, political opinion, health and sexual orientation, not to let them affect the score and not to stereotype the person. The result (percentage and short rationale) is shown only on the screen of the person who started the analysis; it is not stored on the Developer's server, not sent to the person analysed and not written to their profile.

Control by the person analysed (right to object): every user can turn off this analysis being started on their own profile with the "Allow sociocultural environment analysis" switch in Settings > Privacy & Security > Interaction permissions; the description next to the switch explains the feature. When it is off, the analysis is not started and the requesting user is shown "This user has turned off this feature"; if the permission cannot be verified with the server, the analysis is not started either. The switch is on by default. People you block cannot start this analysis on your profile (§3.9-F).

Prerequisite and quota: the analysis runs with the AI (LLM) package or own API key (BYOK) of the user who starts it and is deducted from their quota; without a package the analysis is not started and the user is warned. The rest of the simulation page (saving, chat, post-chat inferences) is processed as described in §3.15 as the starting user's own data.

Legal basis: for the user who starts the analysis, KVKK Art.5/2-c and GDPR Art.6(1)(b). For the person analysed: the data having been made accessible through the person's own sharing preferences (§3.5.9-B, §3.7-A) and the legitimate interest in facilitating mutual understanding between users (KVKK Art.5/2-f, GDPR Art.6(1)(f)); the person can object to this processing at any time, without giving reasons, using the switch above. This processing is not an automated decision producing legal effects concerning the person or similarly significantly affecting them (GDPR Art.22). Transfers abroad are subject to §5.

§3.15-B — Local Culture Analysis (Frequently Visited Places)

What it does: when you tap the local culture button in the Profile > Frequent Places panel, the App first adds your location in the same way as the "+" check-in (§3.2), shows you the province and country you are in, and then opens the local version of the Culture Network (§3.15) for that province: local culture; history and routes for travellers; the perspective of older generations and today's generations.

What goes to the AI: to generate content, only the name of the place (province, country and, if available, district) and the chat and panel information listed in §3.15 are sent to the AI provider in §3.5.3; coordinates are not sent (they are used only to centre the map on the device).

Storage and visibility: the generated analysis is saved automatically, without asking, and only on your device; it is not sent to the server, not added to your KP memory and not shown on the Global Profile. Visitors to your profile see only the place name in the Frequent Places panel, as before. Chats and activity records on the page are subject to the rules in §3.15.

"Add a memory about this place to your profile": a memory you write in this field is added, titled with the place name, to your Generation Encyclopedia entries (the same place as Home > Write to the Encyclopedia); it is visible to visitors in the Deep tab of your profile and, like other encyclopedia entries, is subject to legal risk analysis and your sharing settings. Writing a memory is optional; the analysis page adds nothing to your profile unless you write in this field.

Legal basis: KVKK Art. 5(2)(c) and GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) (providing the feature you requested); for location, the explicit consent in §3.2. International transfers are subject to §5.

§4 Data Security Measures

The Developer implements the technical and administrative measures required under KVKK Art.12 and GDPR Art.32 as follows:

  • Encrypted local storage: all data held on-device is encrypted with SQLCipher (AES-256); sensitive session data is protected with flutter_secure_storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore).
  • Runtime environment check: the Android version checks for root, monitoring tools (hooks), debuggers, emulators, and signature changes; when a monitoring tool or debugger is detected, the user's own API key is not decrypted. Screenshots and recording are blocked on the screens where your own API key is entered (see §3.14-B).
  • Secure transmission: all network traffic between the Developer's API gateway and the device is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher.
  • Password security: user passwords are stored only as strong one-way hashes (bcrypt/Argon2); plaintext passwords are never kept.
  • Biometric isolation: biometric data is kept in the device's secure hardware enclave; the App has no direct access to it.
  • Data minimization: only the content needed for the operation in question is sent to AI providers, and the account ID number is not added to the request; the content is not anonymized (see §3.5.3). Traffic records kept under legal obligation (§3.9-D) are stored together with the account identity and IP address.
  • Integrity and confidentiality of traffic records: records under §3.9-D are digitally signed by the server, linked to one another through chained digests, and cannot be altered afterwards; they are kept in an encrypted, access-restricted, off-server system, and every access, export, and destruction operation is logged.
  • Access control: access to the Developer's internal systems is restricted on a least-privilege basis.
  • Breach notification — regional timelines and procedures: (a) Turkey: under KVKK Art.12/5, the Developer must notify the Personal Data Protection Board "as soon as possible" after becoming aware of a breach; established Board guidance and practice indicate this should not exceed 72 hours, although the statute does not set an exact figure. (b) EU/EEA: under GDPR Art.33, notification to the competent supervisory authority is mandatory within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach; any delay beyond 72 hours must be justified. Notice to affected individuals is given "without undue delay" under GDPR Art.34. (c) United States (state-based): for breaches affecting California users, the Developer notifies the Attorney General and affected individuals "within a reasonable time" (generally 30–45 days) under CCPA/CPRA and California Penal Code §1798.82. Other US states' own breach-notification laws may apply; the Developer commits to fulfilling these requirements in good faith. In all regions: affected users are informed within a reasonable time about the risks arising from the breach, measures taken, and recommended protective steps.

§5 International Data Transfers

AI-model requests routed through the Developer's API gateway may reach LLM providers' servers located outside Turkey or the EU/EEA. For users in Turkey, transfers abroad rely, in this order, under KVKK Art.9 as amended by Law No. 7499: on an adequacy decision where one exists for the country or sector concerned; failing that, on one of the appropriate safeguards listed in Art.9/4, first and foremost the standard contract published by the Personal Data Protection Board (standard contracts are notified to the Authority within five business days of signature); and failing those, and only on an occasional basis, on the exceptional cases listed in Art.9/6 (including explicit consent). For users in the EU/EEA, transfers rely under GDPR Art.44-49 on an adequacy decision (for US recipients, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework to the extent the recipient is certified) or on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Categories of data transferred abroad and recipients (summary): (i) AI calls (§3.5.3, §3.5.7-C, §3.5.7-D, §3.5.7-E, §3.5.7-F, §3.5.14, §3.5.15, §3.5.16, §3.5.18, §3.5.19) — Google LLC (Gemini) or the provider chosen by the user under Bring Your Own API and Model within Model (Terms of Service §3-A.1, §3-A.3) (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google — USA; DeepSeek, Moonshot AI — China), directly from the device; (ii) push-notification data, including the sender's country in letter notifications (§3.10) — Google LLC (Firebase Cloud Messaging); (iii) emails sent to the Developer and website forms (§3.12, §3.12-A) — Cloudflare, Inc. and Google LLC (Gmail); (iv) identity verification, temporary relay, notification device records, the temporary queue for traffic records, website data, interaction permissions, rewarded-ad verification records, and usage statistics (§3-G, §2-A, §3.9-D, §3.9-F, §3.10, §3.13, §3.14, Terms of Sale §1-A.7.10) — Cloudflare, Inc.; (v) advertising data (§3-B.2(v)) — Google; (vi) subscription verification (§3-B.2(i)) — RevenueCat, Inc.; (vii) crash and error reports (§3.14-A) — Google LLC (Firebase Crashlytics); (viii) runtime security check (§3.14-B) — Talsec s.r.o. (freeRASP); (ix) app and device integrity verification (§3.14-C) — Google LLC (Play Integrity); (x) weather queries (§3.2-A) — MET Norway (Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Norway).

The active LLM provider and, where applicable, the location of data processing can be viewed from the Privacy Settings screen in the App. Users are notified at least 30 days in advance of any provider change.

Infrastructure providers: the identity-verification and guardian-recovery infrastructure described in §3-G and the temporary queue of the traffic records described in §3.9-D are hosted on Cloudflare's global network (Cloudflare, Inc., USA), which may process and store the relevant metadata on nodes located outside Turkey and the EU/EEA. The same cross-border-transfer safeguards described in this section (KVKK Art.9; GDPR SCCs/adequacy decisions) apply to that processing.

§6 User Rights

§6.1 — KVKK Art.11 Rights (Turkey)

To learn whether personal data is being processed; to request information; to ask about the purpose and its appropriateness; to learn recipients to whom data is transferred; to request rectification; to request deletion/destruction; to request that rectification or deletion be notified to third parties; to object to a conclusion reached solely through automated analysis; and to claim compensation for damage.

Application: [email protected] or the in-app "Account > Privacy > Request" form. Response time: 30 days.

§6.2 — GDPR Art.15-22 Rights (EU/EEA Users)

Access (Art.15), rectification (Art.16), erasure/"right to be forgotten" (Art.17), restriction (Art.18), portability (Art.20), objection (Art.21), and the right not to be subject to a purely automated decision (Art.22).

Application: [email protected]. The right to lodge a complaint with the competent Member State data-protection authority is reserved.

§6.3 — CCPA/CPRA Rights (California Users)

Right to know, right to delete, right to correct, right to opt out of sale/sharing ("Do Not Sell or Share" — the Developer does not sell data), right to limit use of sensitive data, and the right to non-discrimination.

User data is never sold, rented, or transferred to third parties for any purpose, including ad targeting. User data is not used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate AI or machine-learning models. The Developer does not permanently store user data on its infrastructure, subject to mandatory legal retention obligations and temporary logs kept for transaction security. This includes, without limitation, identity/routing identifiers temporarily held for message-delivery and payment-service-provider (PSP) purposes, and moderation-, compliance-, and statutory traffic records described in §3-G, §3.9, and §3.9-D; such data is retained only for a defined, limited period and is not stored indefinitely. This commitment is integral to the Developer's core privacy architecture; changes that expand the scope of data processing require the user's explicit consent, while operational and technical changes remain within the Developer's discretion, subject to 30 days' advance notice for material changes.

Categories of personal information collected (CCPA/CPRA notice): in the last 12 months, personal information in the following categories has been collected for the purposes described in this Policy: identifiers (username, cryptographic account identity number, one-way hash of a device identifier, push-notification identifier, IP address, the e-mail address you give when you contact the Developer by e-mail or web form); commercial information (purchase and subscription records); internet and network activity information (§3.9-D traffic records); geolocation information (profile country and city, approximate location derived from IP); demographic information (gender, year of birth, generation — §3.14); correspondence users send us, including website forms (§3.12, §3.12-A); and inferences (Reflection, simulation, Perception Network, and thought-flow analyses — these are stored only on your device). Sensitive personal information (e.g., health, health-related inferences) is processed only for the purposes described in this Policy and with your consent, and is not used to infer characteristics about you. Google (Gemini, Firebase Cloud Messaging), Cloudflare, and RevenueCat act as "service providers" within the meaning of the CCPA; transfers to them are not a "sale" of personal information or "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising. To have your push-notification record deleted, it is enough to turn off all notifications under Settings > Notifications (§3.10).

Application: [email protected]. Response time: 45 days (+45-day extension available). Identity verification may be required.

§6.4 — Rights Under the Local Architecture: Correction and Objection Procedures

Because the App is built on a privacy-first, serverless architecture, personal data is held predominantly only on the user's own device. This requires a different rights-exercise procedure from the traditional data-controller model.

§6.4.1 Rectification (KVKK Art.11/d; GDPR Art.16): for data the Developer holds directly on its servers (subscription/quota records, authentication hash, moderation records), send a written request to [email protected]; the Developer responds within 30 days. For data held on-device (profile information, chat history, Reflection data, memory records, etc.), it is technically impossible for the Developer to correct data remotely; instead, the Developer provides step-by-step guidance for correcting it on-device via the relevant settings menu, edit screen, or deletion flow.

§6.4.2 Deletion (KVKK Art.11/e; GDPR Art.17): for data on the Developer's servers, send a request to [email protected]; it is processed within 30 days and written confirmation is sent once complete. For on-device data, the user may: (i) use Settings > Privacy > [category] > Delete within the App; (ii) uninstall the App (deletes all local data); (iii) use tools such as Settings > Reflection Settings > Clear Memory Records or "Delete all data" in Settings; collection of step data can be stopped by turning off the physical-activity permission in the device settings. Where remote deletion is technically impossible, the Developer clearly informs the user of the relevant steps. For records subject to a statutory retention obligation (§3.8 payment records, §3.9 moderation records, §3.9-D traffic records), a deletion request is fulfilled at the end of the applicable statutory retention period; during that period, your rights to information about and access to those records remain reserved.

§6.4.3 Access and portability (KVKK Art.11/a; GDPR Art.15, 20): for data held on the Developer's servers, an access/copy request may be sent to [email protected] and will be provided in a machine-readable format (JSON or CSV). On-device data can be accessed directly by the user within the App. For export: Settings > Privacy > Download My Data (where available in that app version). If the feature is not yet active, the Developer will explain how the user can access their data on-device.

§6.4.4 Objection, restriction, and objection to profiling (KVKK Art.11/f, g; GDPR Art.18, 21, 22): a user wishing to object to AI profiling (Reflection creation), emotion analysis, or behavioral classification may: (i) use Settings > Reflection Settings > Stop Analysis in-app; (ii) turn off the relevant categories via the privacy panel; (iii) send a written objection to [email protected]. Where an objection cannot be technically implemented directly (e.g., for on-device processes), the Developer explains step-by-step how the user can change the relevant setting themselves.

§6.4.5 Complaints and referral to a supervisory authority: where the Developer cannot fulfil a request, or cannot intervene directly due to a technical-architecture constraint, it refers the user to the competent supervisory authority: the Personal Data Protection Board (kvkk.gov.tr) in Turkey; the competent Member State data-protection authority in the EU; and the California Privacy Protection Agency (cppa.ca.gov) in the US. This referral is not a denial of rights but a transparent disclosure of the architectural reality.

§6.4.6 Automated profiling and automated decisions — summary (GDPR Art.13(2)(f), Art.14(2)(g); KVKK Art.11/1-g): the App carries out the following automated profiling activities: the Reflection personality profile (§3.5.9); emotion synthesis (§3.5.6); thought-flow analysis (§3.5.15); character inference and compatibility scoring for two people in simulations (§3.5.7-C); Perception Network relationship insights (§3.5.14); on-device personalization of news suggestions (§3.5.12-A); your Reflection's simulated mood (§3.5.16); Self-Perception classification and Self Space inferences (§3.5.18); the Era Profile scoring and detailed reading of the Analog Age questionnaire (§3.5.19); and the account status summary containing a security risk classification (§3.14). None of these activities produces a decision about you that has legal effects or similarly significantly affects you; their outputs are used only to personalize the App experience and to produce fictional/interpretive content. The only decision based solely on automated processing within the meaning of GDPR Art.22 is the temporary sending restriction in §3.9-C.1, which is subject to the human-review and objection safeguards described there. To object to profiling, you can use the avenues in §6.4.4 and the switches of the relevant features.

§7 Children's Privacy

The App is an adults-only service. It is not directed at, and is not intended to be used by, individuals under 18, and personal data is not knowingly collected from them. Account creation by users under 18 is technically blocked based on the date of birth declared at registration; this check is calculated dynamically against the current date and is not hard-coded to a fixed year. Because the App's general minimum age (18) already sits above every age threshold referenced in COPPA, GDPR Art.8, and comparable regional digital-consent-age regimes, no user of the App is, or can lawfully be, a "child" or "minor" for the purposes of those regimes, and no parental-consent pathway is offered or required. If an account is found to have been created with a false age declaration, the account and all its data are deleted immediately. The only exception to this rule is the Under-18 Chat Panel, which creates no account, gives no access to the main service and is offered to users aged 13–17 with parental consent (§7-A).

§7.1 — Technical and Operational Age-Verification Measures

Pursuant to legal obligations and app-store rules (Apple App Store Guideline 1.3; Google Play Families Policy; KVKK Art.5-6; GDPR Art.8; COPPA), the Developer implements the following technical measures: (i) registration block — account creation is technically blocked for users under 18 based on the declared date of birth; this block is enforced client-side, on the registration screen; (ii) age-verification notice — the 18+ age requirement is clearly presented during registration and entering a date of birth is mandatory; (iii) no sub-18 tier in the account-based service — because the App's account-based main service does not admit any user under 18, it does not operate a parental-consent flow or an age-banded feature set within that service; the account-free Under-18 Chat Panel's own age declaration and parental-consent flow are governed by §7-A; (iv) reporting — if data belonging to a person under 18 is nonetheless found to have entered the system (e.g., through a false age declaration), it is deleted immediately and permanently upon discovery, and, where the circumstances raise a suspicion of an offense against a minor, the matter is handled under §3.9's cooperation-with-authorities provisions and may trigger a COPPA or equivalent reporting obligation.

§7.1.1 — The Developer's liability where the age declaration is false: the Developer relies on the user's own declaration for age verification; independent technical age verification (ID document, etc.) is not currently implemented. Where a user creates an account with a false date of birth, all legal consequences of that false declaration rest solely with the user. The Developer cannot be held liable for damage arising from a false age declaration, except to the extent directly attributable to its own negligence. Upon detecting an account created with a false age declaration, the Developer reserves the right to immediately delete or permanently disable that account and all its data; no refund is provided to the affected user in that case.

§7.1.2 — Advertising: no ads are shown and no profiling-based advertising takes place in the Under-18 Chat Panel (§7-A). Because the account-based main service does not admit any user under 18, the child-directed and age-banded advertising restrictions found in comparable services (COPPA behavioral-advertising limits, GDPR Art.8 age-gating) do not apply to any App user by construction. The Developer nonetheless configures its ad-network integration, where active, in line with applicable general advertising-disclosure law; see §1-A.7.4.

§7.1.3 — Reports concerning a suspected minor user: anyone with a good-faith belief that an account is being used by a person under 18 — including, but not limited to, a parent or guardian who discovers this about a person in their care — may report it to [email protected]. The Developer investigates such reports and, where the suspicion is confirmed, deletes the account and its data under §7.1 above. The Developer responds to such reports within 30 days.

§7-A Under-18 Chat Panel (ages 13–17)

SUMMARY: This section is the ONLY exception to the "adults-only service" rule in §3-A and §7. The Under-18 Chat Panel is not part of Generation Network's account-based main service: no account is created and it gives no access to the network, the Reflection, letters, simulations, Genepool or other users. It is solely an AI chat focused on homework, school subjects and personal growth, with child-protection rules that are always on and cannot be changed. It is closed to children under 13 and is used with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. To the extent this section conflicts with §3-A, §7 or Terms of Use §2, this section prevails for this panel only.

§7-A.1 — Scope and purpose

A person who declares a date of birth under 18 on the registration screen is offered access to this panel instead of account creation. The panel's purpose is to help with school subjects, homework, exam preparation, study methods and personal growth, with a teacher's and pedagogue's approach. The panel is not designed for and not open to children under 13: if "Under 13" is selected in the age declaration at first entry, the panel does not open, and no data is knowingly collected from a person under 13 (US COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq. and 16 C.F.R. Part 312).

§7-A.2 — First-entry consent and parental consent

When the panel is opened for the first time (and again whenever this section changes), a plain-language summary of the terms is shown; consent cannot be given until the text has been scrolled to the end. The user declares their age and separately ticks four statements: (a) they are aged 13–17 and their age declaration is true; (b) their parent or legal guardian agrees to their use of the panel and, where needed, to purchases; (c) they understand that they are talking to an AI, that answers may be wrong and that it does not replace a teacher, doctor or psychologist; (d) they will not share personal information and accept these terms. The time of consent, text version, declared age and ticked boxes are stored on the device as evidence.

Legal basis: in Türkiye, transactions by minors capable of discernment that create obligations require the consent of the legal representative (Turkish Civil Code Art.16), and the legal representative's consent is required for processing personal data (KVKK Art.5-6); in the EU, for information society services offered directly to a child, the consent or authorisation of the holder of parental responsibility is required for children below 13–16 depending on the Member State (GDPR Art.8); standard terms are shown and made readable when the contract is concluded (Turkish Code of Obligations Art.20-21). As a reasonable effort to confirm parental consent, the Developer relies on Google Play's family controls (Google Family Link, purchase approval) and does not perform separate identity or age verification. The consequences of a false age declaration or of parental consent that was not actually given are governed by the principles in §7.1.1. A parent or legal guardian may withdraw consent at any time by writing to [email protected]; access to the panel is then closed and server records are deleted under §7-A.7.

§7-A.3 — Data processed, purpose and retention

On the device only: conversations; the hidden note written by the user; the optional "About me" fields (nickname, grade, subjects, interests, goals); LLM settings; the consent record. This data is not stored or backed up on the Developer's servers.

On the server: a randomly generated device ID number and the associated public key (containing no name, date of birth or other profile data); the package balance; the purchase record verified through Google Play/RevenueCat (product, date, store order number); technical records for security, abuse prevention and quota, and the statutory traffic (metadata) records under §3.9-D. No name, email, phone number, location or photo is requested.

Transmission to the AI provider: to generate answers, the message, recent messages, the hidden note and the "About me" fields are sent via the Developer's server to the Google Gemini API (outside the user's country; §3.5.3, §5); this content is not stored on the Developer's server and is subject to the provider's own terms.

Purpose and legal basis: providing the service (performance of the contract concluded with parental consent — KVKK Art.5/2-c, GDPR Art.6(1)(b)); security and abuse prevention (legitimate interest and legal obligation — KVKK Art.5/2-ç, f; GDPR Art.6(1)(c), (f)). Retention: purchase records on the server are kept for the period required by tax and consumer law; other server records for the periods in §8.1.

§7-A.4 — Best interests of the child: prohibitions and safeguards

In this panel (i) there is no profiling and no behavioural or personalised advertising, and no ads are shown; (ii) data is not sold or used for marketing, and no marketing notifications are sent; (iii) there is no communication, sharing or matching between users; (iv) default settings are at the highest privacy level (conversations stay on the device). These principles are applied in line with Art.28 of the EU Digital Services Act (online protection of minors, ban on profiling-based advertising), the principles of the UK Age Appropriate Design Code and the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, and the requirements of COPPA.

For every request, the assistant runs with a child-protection instruction added on the Developer's server that the user cannot change, and with the strictest safety-filter threshold: it gives no advice on romantic or sexual relationships, sexuality, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, violence, self-harm methods, dangerous challenges, dieting or medication, warns about the risks and refers the user to a trusted adult; it does not ask for personal information; it never suggests meeting anyone or hiding things from family; and it refers the user to emergency numbers when it senses a crisis. The user's settings or hidden note cannot change these safeguards. These rules apply in the same way in every country.

§7-A.5 — AI disclosure and limits of liability

In accordance with Art.50 of the EU AI Act, the user is clearly informed that they are interacting with an AI system. The assistant's answers are for information and learning; they may be wrong or incomplete and do not replace professional education or medical, psychological or legal advice. The panel is not an emergency, crisis or counselling service. Automated protective instructions and filters are applied on a best-effort basis but are not infallible; to the extent permitted by mandatory law, the Developer is not liable for damage arising from model outputs where it is not at fault. Consumers' rights under mandatory law remain unaffected.

§7-A.6 — Purchases

The panel package is a one-time, consumable Google Play product; there is no subscription and no automatic renewal. Payment, refunds and receipts are subject to Google Play's rules (see the Terms of Sale). If Google Play family controls are enabled, the purchase requires parental approval. A purchase by a user under 18 is valid with the legal representative's permission (Turkish Civil Code Art.16; rules of US state law on contracts by minors remain unaffected). Refund requests for purchases reported as made without parental permission are made through Google Play, and the Developer cooperates in that process. The package balance is linked to the device's ID number; if the app is deleted or the device changes, the balance may not be transferable.

§7-A.7 — Rights, deletion and complaints

The user can delete all conversations and information on the device under "Settings > My data" in the panel; uninstalling the app also deletes on-device data. A parent or legal guardian (KVKK Art.11; GDPR Art.15-21; COPPA, 16 C.F.R. §312.6) may request review, deletion and cessation of processing of server records at [email protected]; requests are answered within 30 days at the latest. The store order number may be requested to verify the request. Right to lodge a complaint: the Personal Data Protection Authority in Türkiye, the competent supervisory authority in the EU, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the US.

§7-A.8 — Closing access

In case of use contrary to these terms, if it emerges that the user is under 13, or in case of a false declaration, access to the panel may be closed and server records deleted; no refund is given in that case, subject to Google Play's rules and mandatory law. Situations raising a suspicion of an offence against a child are handled under §3.9. Whenever this section changes, consent is requested again within the panel.

§8 Data Retention and Deletion

Personal data is held only for as long as necessary for the purpose of processing. An account-deletion request can be made in-app ("Account > Delete My Account") or by written request to [email protected].

Once a deletion request is received, data held off-device is permanently deleted within 30 days, subject to mandatory legal-retention obligations. Deleting on-device data is the user's own responsibility (once the App is removed from the device, the Developer can neither access nor recover it). Records subject to mandatory legal-retention obligations — in particular the traffic (metadata) records in §3.9-D — are retained for the statutory period even if the account is deleted, and are destroyed at the end of that period.

§8.1 — Retention periods for data held server-side (summary): this summary is to be read together with the detailed provisions in the relevant sections; in case of conflict, the relevant section prevails.

  • Letter, telegraph, SMS, and live-chat content (temporary relay): on delivery or within 2 days at the latest (§2-A, §3.7-A, §3.7-D).
  • Standalone postcards, simulation results, and simulation stories: on delivery or within 3 days at the latest (§2-A, §3.5.7-B, §3.5.7-C).
  • Broadcast Letter: the 7/30/365-day publication period chosen by the author (§3.7-C).
  • Find Similar Users shares: the 1 week/1 month/1 year chosen by the user (§3.5.5-A).
  • Push-notification device record: until notifications are turned off, the App is uninstalled, or the account is deleted; scheduled letter notification: no more than 3 days (§3.10).
  • Identity-verification and guardian metadata: while the account and guardian relationships remain active (§3-G).
  • Payment/purchase records: up to 10 years; other stamp movements: while the account is active and for 2 years after closure (§3.8).
  • Moderation and complaint records: 2 years (§3.9).
  • Traffic (metadata) records: at least 1 and at most 2 years (§3.9-D).
  • Emails sent to the Developer: 2 years; legal/official correspondence up to 10 years; unsolicited emails 30 days (§3.12).
  • Website test-user requests: until the test rounds end and the App becomes generally available, at most 2 years; immediately on withdrawal of consent (§3.12-A).
  • Rewarded-ad verification and view records: 12 months (Terms of Sale §1-A.7.10).
  • Purchase history records (product, date, store order number, amount reported by the store): same period as payment records (§3.8). No e-mail address is collected at purchase.
  • Interaction permissions and block list: until account deletion, or until all permissions are on and the list is empty (§3.9-F).
  • Account status summary (usage statistics): until account deletion; total counters not linked to identity without a time limit (§3.14).

Records relating to a legal dispute, official request, or fraud investigation that began before the period expired may be retained, limited to that process, until it is concluded. Expired records are periodically deleted or destroyed in accordance with the Turkish Regulation on the Deletion, Destruction or Anonymization of Personal Data.

Irreversibility and prerequisites for recovery: the "Delete My Account" action is irreversible; the account, all on-device content, and the secret keys that grant access to the account's network identity are permanently destroyed. Once this action is completed, access to the account can be restored ONLY if the user has both a previously created backup file (§9.7) AND the 12-word recovery phrase described in §9.8. If either or both are missing, no one — including the Developer — can restore the account or its content. Before confirming "Delete My Account," the user is shown an in-app warning that clearly states this outcome. Paid entitlements tied to the account (package, add-on packages, Stamps) end at the moment of deletion and are not reopened even if the account is brought back from a backup; see Subscription Terms §6-A.11 and Sales Terms §2.4-D.

§9 Local Encryption, Backup Risk, and User Responsibility

§9.1 — Encryption Infrastructure

The App protects user data on-device using industry-standard encryption. All local data is stored in an encrypted database; sensitive credentials are kept in the operating system's secure-storage layer. The encryption key is generated in a manner tied to the device and to user authentication.

§9.1-A — Key-Material Redundancy Safeguard (Secure-Storage Reset Protection)

On some devices — in particular certain Android variants with aggressive battery or memory optimization — the operating system's secure-storage layer described in §9.1 may, in rare cases, be reset independently of the encrypted database file itself. Left unaddressed, this could cause the App to treat existing local data as inaccessible and, under an unrelated recovery flow, result in irreversible loss of local data that is otherwise intact.

To protect against this failure mode, the App also keeps an additional copy of the value needed to reconstruct the decryption key in a separate, device-local storage area reserved exclusively for the App — a location no other app or person can access. If the operating system's secure storage is found to be empty, the App restores the key material from this device-local copy instead of generating a new encryption key, which would otherwise permanently render existing encrypted data unreadable.

This safeguard copy is never transmitted to the Developer's servers, is not visible to or accessible by the Developer, and is not shared with any third party; on its own it does not grant access to the user's data, since it must be combined with the other device-specific and authentication-based components described in §9.1 to reconstruct the key. It is automatically deleted from the device when the user deletes the App or their account. This measure does not alter the device-backup risk described in §9.2 or the user-responsibility provisions in §9.3 — it addresses a different, purely on-device failure mode and does not create any new transmission of data off the device.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.12 and GDPR Art.32 (appropriate technical measures to protect personal data against loss). This is a technical availability and integrity safeguard for data already described in §2 and §9.1; it does not introduce a new category or purpose of data collection.

§9.2 — Key Risk in the Event of Backup

When a user backs up app data via device backup mechanisms (iCloud Backup, Google Drive Backup, etc.), it is technically possible for the encrypted database file to be written to the same backup medium together with its decryption key. In practical terms: if the backup file is accessed without authorization, it is theoretically possible for the key to be obtained along with the encrypted data, enabling decryption.

This risk is outside the Developer's control; backup security depends entirely on the security infrastructure of the backup platform the user chooses (Apple, Google, etc.) and on the user's own account-security practices.

§9.3 — User Responsibility: Express Provision

The Developer assumes no liability in the following situations, which the user acknowledges and accepts:

  • Access to on-device data as a result of the user's device being lost, stolen, damaged, or falling into unauthorized hands.
  • Backups created by the user not being stored in a secure environment, or being accessed without authorization.
  • Data being decrypted as a result of the encryption key being exposed along with a backup.
  • The user sharing their password or biometric authentication device with a third party.
  • Security vulnerabilities arising from the user's failure to install OS security updates.
  • Operating-system security layers being disabled as a result of "jailbreaking" or "rooting" the device.
  • The user choosing to export data from the App and losing control over it.

The Developer does not warrant or guarantee the security of data on the user's own device and cannot be held liable for any resulting damage. By downloading and using the App, the user accepts that the security of local data is primarily their own responsibility.

§9.4 — The Developer's Recovery Capability

Because Generation Network is designed with a privacy-first architecture, it is technically impossible for the Developer to remotely access or recover data stored on-device. In the event of device loss or malfunction, the Developer cannot recover the user's local data. This is not a service gap — it is a design choice made to protect user privacy. The safeguard described in §9.1-A does not change this: it operates entirely on the user's own device and grants the Developer no additional server-side access to, or recovery capability over, local data.

§9.5 — Recommended Security Practices

The Developer recommends, without mandating, the following, and cannot be held liable for damage arising from not following them: backing up via an end-to-end encrypted backup option; protecting the device screen lock with a strong passcode or biometrics; keeping the OS and app updated; limiting physical access to the device to trusted individuals.

§9.6 — The "Wake Up" Function and Background Processing

Tapping the "Wake Up" button on the selection screen starts a series of background operations on the user's own device to make the selected Reflection ready for interaction (loading/"warming" local AI models into memory, cache preparation, performance optimization, etc.). These operations run entirely on the user's own device; during processing, the device's CPU, memory, and storage resources may be used more intensively than normal, battery consumption may increase, and, depending on the device model, the process may take longer than a few seconds. Some warm-up operations may also be triggered automatically in the background while the App is idle — even without the user pressing a button — to improve response speed.

Limitation of liability: the Developer cannot be held liable for performance differences arising from device hardware or OS, for the process taking longer than expected, or for slowdowns on devices with lower hardware/storage capacity. Users can stop these background operations by restricting the relevant permissions in device settings or by discontinuing use of the App. The technical circumstances described in this section are subject to the general technical-disclaimer provisions in Terms of Service §5.3.

§9.7 — Manual Backup Export and Sharing

From the Settings menu, the user can create an encrypted copy of all their local data (a backup file) and send it, via the device's own sharing mechanism, to any destination they choose (cloud storage, another device, a file manager, e-mail, etc.). This happens entirely at the user's own initiative; the Developer does not automatically upload the resulting backup to any server.

Optional backup password: when creating a backup, the user is asked at the start whether they want to lock it with a password of their own. In a backup without a password, the key that opens the encrypted database is inside the file; anyone who obtains the file can open it with this App. If a password is chosen, this key is encrypted with a key derived from the password (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 and AES-256-GCM) and is not present in the file in plain form; the file cannot be opened without the password, which is requested on restore. The password is never sent to the Developer and is not stored anywhere; if it is forgotten, the backup cannot be opened by anyone, including the Developer.

The backup file contains an encrypted database; however, once the user shares it, it passes outside the Developer's control and visibility. The security of the environment the file is sent to (cloud account, device, e-mail, etc.) depends entirely on the user's own choices and account-security practices. The Developer cannot be held liable for the storage, loss, or unauthorized access of a backup file the user has voluntarily shared with a third-party environment. This section supplements the backup-key risk described in §9.2. This backup file does NOT include any third-party AI API key the user may have connected; see §9.9.

The backup contains no paid entitlements or Stamps; restoring requires the identity: the backup file does NOT contain the Stamp balance or paid entitlements (package, add-on packages, LLM capacity); these are held on the server, tied to the account's identity, and verified by the server (Sales Terms §2.4-D, Subscription Terms §6-A.11). When a backup is restored with the same identity, the Stamp balance and the package status are determined from the server record, not from the backup on the device; the Stamp balance held on the server is therefore preserved. For high security, the backup file alone does not bring back the account's network identity (the reflection); this requires both the 12-word recovery phrase described in §9.8 and the account's identity number (ID). After a backup is taken, the App shows the ID in a copyable form; the user is responsible for keeping the ID, the recovery phrase and the backup file in separate, safe places.

§9.8 — Recovery Phrase and Network Identity Lock

Your account's network-side (server-side) identity is based on a 12-word recovery phrase shown only once during registration. The Developer never stores, backs up, or can view this phrase in any form; you are solely responsible for keeping it safe.

If you change devices, uninstall and reinstall the App, or restore your local backup ("Cortex"), and the 12-word recovery phrase is not entered correctly, you may continue to access your local, on-device data (memories, chats, etc.; for the Stamp balance see §9.7); however, your account's network identity becomes permanently locked, and you will be unable to use any server-based network feature, including letters, telegrams, genepool matching, and Web2 Similarity Analysis.

This lock is a direct consequence of the Developer's privacy-first security architecture: without the private key/recovery phrase, the server cannot authenticate the identity in question. Accordingly, the lock cannot be lifted through a customer-support request or intervention by the Developer, consistent with the absence of recovery capability described in §9.4. The user bears sole responsibility for all consequences (including the permanent lock of the network identity) arising from a failure to keep the recovery phrase shown at account creation in a safe, durable location; the Developer cannot be held liable for any resulting damage.

Where an alternative, guardian-based recovery mechanism as described in §3-G has been pre-configured for a given account, recovery may be attempted through that mechanism; however, this is an optional feature requiring separate, prior activation by the user and does not substitute for the primary recovery phrase.

Legal basis: the duty to inform under KVKK Art.10 and GDPR Art.13. This section does not describe a new data-processing activity; it transparently explains a natural consequence of the existing identity-verification architecture (§3-G).

§9.9 — Your Connected API Key Is Outside the Scope of Backup and Account Deletion

The third-party API key entered under the "Bring Your Own Key" feature described in Terms of Service §3-A.1 is, by deliberate design, (a) never included in the manual backup file described in §9.7, and (b) permanently deleted, along with other confidential on-device data, when the account is deleted as described in §8. This design ensures that the user's third-party provider key is never transmitted off the device in any form.

As a result, if the user recreates their account after deletion, or restores from a backup, they must re-enter this API key each time. This is a different mechanism from, and does not alter, the on-device encryption-key safeguard copy described in §9.1-A.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.12 and GDPR Art.32 (data minimization and secure processing). This section does not describe a new data-processing activity; it transparently explains a consequence of the BYOK architecture already described in §3-A.1.

§3-A Age Limit — Adults-Only Service (KVKK / GDPR / COPPA)

The App is an adults-only service, open only to individuals aged 18 or older. It is not directed at individuals under 18, and personal data is not knowingly collected from them. Use of the App by anyone under 18, under any circumstances, is strictly prohibited. Account creation is technically blocked based on the declared date of birth at registration.

Because 18 is at or above every age threshold used by COPPA (13), GDPR Art.8 (13–16, depending on Member State), and comparable regional digital-consent-age laws, the App does not admit any user who would fall within those regimes' definition of a "child," and accordingly offers no parental- or guardian-consent pathway, age-banded feature set, or reduced-age registration tier (sole exception: the account-free Under-18 Chat Panel, see §7-A). If it is found that an individual under 18 has entered data into the system (e.g., through a false age declaration), that data and the associated account are deleted immediately and permanently; this may be reported to [email protected].

This arrangement is implemented to satisfy the mandatory requirements of the Apple App Store and Google Play child-safety rules, KVKK Art.5-6 (explicit consent — legal capacity of minors), GDPR Art.8 (age threshold for a child's consent to digital services), and US COPPA (online privacy of children under 13) — by setting the App's general minimum age above all of them, rather than by attempting to separately satisfy each regime's specific consent mechanics for minor users.

§3-B Third-Party Data Processors — DPA Commitment, Liability Limits, and Links

§3-B.1 — The Developer's Data-Processing Position

The Developer is not structured to commercially collect or process user data. Consistent with its privacy-first architecture, the App processes user data on its own infrastructure only to the minimal extent necessary to operate the service (subscription management, authentication, quota tracking, moderation security). The Developer has not adopted a business model of collecting and marketing data, building profiles, or selling data to third parties.

§3-B.2 — Third-Party Data Processors and Legal Basis

The following third-party service providers access limited categories of data so the App can perform certain functions. The scope of data processed, legal basis, and policy link for each provider are set out below:

(i) RevenueCat, Inc. (USA) — subscription management and in-app purchase verification. Data processed: store transaction ID, subscription status, device identifier, in-app user ID. The Developer transfers this data to RevenueCat; RevenueCat cannot access payment-card data. Privacy Policy: revenuecat.com/privacy — subject to RevenueCat's standard Data Processing Agreement.

(ii) Google LLC / Google Gemini API (USA) — large-language-model processing services. Data processed: the user's AI-interaction content (as described in §3.5.3; the content is not anonymized); this includes record texts sent for Perception Network relationship analysis (§3.5.14), truncated chat blocks and emotion measurements sent for thought-flow analysis (§3.5.15), and KP-memory data and inferred character profiles sent for simulation stories, together with closed data sent with the user's explicit consent (§3.5.7-C, §3.5.7-D). Google API Terms: cloud.google.com/terms — Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

(iii) Apple Inc. — iOS app distribution, In-App Purchase infrastructure, authentication. Data processed: Apple-ID-based subscription and payment verification; the Developer cannot access payment-card details. Apple Privacy Policy: apple.com/legal/privacy/.

(iv) Google LLC — Google Play Billing infrastructure and Android distribution. Data processed: Google-account-based subscription and payment verification. Google Play Privacy: support.google.com/googleplay/answer/10791228.

(v) Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited for users in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland; Google LLC, USA, for all other users) — delivery and measurement of in-app ads (native ads and optional rewarded video ads, see §1-A.7). Data processed directly by the Google SDK on the user's device: the device's advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID), IP address and the approximate location derived from it, device model, operating-system version, language, app version, and interactions with ads (impressions, clicks, video completion). For personalized advertising Google acts as an independent controller under its own privacy policy and the Google Ads Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms; the Developer does not receive this data and has no access to the interest categories Google associates with the advertising identifier. The Developer does not send Google any content data (chats, Reflection profiles, memories, health data, identity data). How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites · AdMob privacy: support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543. International transfer: Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and additionally relies on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses; for users in Turkey see §1-A.7.5-A.

(vi) Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) — edge network, request routing, and Cloudflare KV storage infrastructure underlying the identity-verification and guardian-recovery system described in §3-G. Data processed: the categories listed in §3-G (hashed identity numbers, public keys, guardian metadata, encrypted secret-sharing fragments). Cloudflare is also used for the following services: Workers (server code and API gateway), Workers KV and D1 databases (temporary message/simulation mailboxes, the temporary queue for §3.9-D traffic records, §3.10 notification device records and scheduled letter notifications, and §3.12 incoming emails and §3.12-A website form records), Email Routing (§3.12), Pages (website and stamp images, §3.10 and §3.13), and Web Analytics (§3.13). Cloudflare Privacy Policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

(vii) Google LLC — Firebase Cloud Messaging (USA) — delivery of push notifications (§3.10). Data processed: device-specific notification identifier (FCM token), notification text (including, in letter notifications, the sender's profile country and estimated arrival time), and time of sending. The content of messages, letters, and chats is not sent to Google. For FCM, Google acts as a processor/service provider subject to the Firebase data processing and security terms (firebase.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms).

(viii) Google LLC — Gmail (USA) — storing and answering a copy of emails sent to @generationnetwork.app addresses and of website form records (§3.12, §3.12-A). Data processed: the email data listed in §3.12. Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

(ix) Google LLC — Firebase Crashlytics (USA) — collecting crash and error reports from the release version of the App (§3.14-A). Data processed: error type and stack trace, masked error text, device and operating-system information, App version, and a random installation ID; account ID and content are not sent. For Crashlytics, Google acts as a data processor under the Firebase data processing and security terms (firebase.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms).

(x) Talsec s.r.o. — freeRASP (Czech Republic; data on Talsec-managed cloud infrastructure in the USA) — runtime security check (§3.14-B). Data processed: App and device security state, freeRASP installation ID and device ID, IP address and the approximate location derived from it; account ID, API keys, and content are not sent. Talsec acts as a data processor.

(xi) MET Norway (Norwegian Meteorological Institute / Meteorologisk institutt, Oslo, Norway; api.met.no) — weather data (§3.2-A). Data processed: latitude/longitude rounded to about 0.1 degrees (about 11 km), the IP address and time of the request; no account ID, username or other identifier is sent (the request contains only the App's name and the Developer's contact address). The provider keeps access logs (including the IP address and the coordinates in the request) in its data center in Norway. Cross-border transfer: Norway is a member of the European Economic Area and subject to the GDPR. Attribution: weather data is from MET Norway (Data from MET Norway) and is used under the CC BY 4.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0) and NLOD 2.0 licenses; the data is summarized into text. Terms of use: api.met.no/doc/TermsOfService.

§3-B.3 — Data Processing Agreement (DPA) Commitment

The Developer's approach to the above third-party providers: RevenueCat is engaged subject to RevenueCat's standard DPA terms, which govern processor obligations under GDPR Art.28. The Developer transfers only the minimum data necessary for the service and does not instruct RevenueCat to use it for other purposes. Google (Gemini API) — Google Cloud/API services are used under Google's standard Data Processing Terms and Terms of Service (Google Cloud DPA). Google commits not to use customer data for its own advertising systems. Apple / Google Play — these platforms are independent store operators, not the Developer's direct data processors. Data users share with these platforms is subject to the relevant store's own privacy policy. Cloudflare is engaged subject to Cloudflare's standard Data Processing Addendum, which governs processor obligations under GDPR Art.28; the Developer transfers to Cloudflare only the minimum data necessary to operate the services listed in §3-B.2(vi). Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) is engaged as a processor under the Firebase data processing and security terms; the Developer transfers to FCM only the minimum data needed to deliver a notification (the notification identifier and notification text that carries no message content). Google (Gmail) is used solely to store and answer emails sent to the Developer.

LIMITATION NOTICE: the Developer has no ability to control third-party providers' own data-processing practices, infrastructure security, or policy changes. The Developer cannot be held liable for data breaches, security vulnerabilities, or policy violations occurring under a provider's own policies. By using the services, the user acknowledges the existence of these third-party providers' data-processing practices and that those practices are subject to the relevant provider's own policy.

§3-B.4 — Separation of Third-Party Liability from the Developer

The Developer's liability toward third-party providers is limited to the following framework: the Developer must exercise reasonable care in selecting providers (using appropriate DPA/SCC mechanisms, obtaining adequate assurances under GDPR Art.28) and must transfer to providers only the minimum data necessary for service delivery. Beyond this, disruptions, security breaches, or policy violations occurring within a provider's own systems fall outside the Developer's sphere of intervention, and the Developer cannot be held liable for damage arising from them. For complaints regarding third-party providers, the user may contact that provider's own support and privacy channels directly; the links above are provided for that purpose.

§3-C Socioeconomic Class / Badge Data

The App includes an optional badge or profile feature where the user may state their socioeconomic class. This is sensitive data that may allow inferences about the user's economic status or income level.

Conditions for this feature: (i) it is entirely optional; the user is not required to enter it, and not doing so does not restrict any core function of the App. (ii) It is private by default; this data is not shown to other users unless the user explicitly makes it visible. (iii) The user can change or fully remove this information at any time. (iv) This data is not used for ad targeting, price discrimination, or access restriction.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/1 (explicit consent); GDPR Art.6(1)(a). By entering this information, the user is deemed to consent to its processing; consent is revocable, and revocation deletes the existing profile data.

§3-D AI Transparency — Explicit Notice That the Reflection Is Artificial Intelligence

IMPORTANT NOTICE: a "Reflection" is not a real human being — it is an artificial-intelligence system. Every interaction conducted with a Reflection is carried out by an AI language model. Content, messages, comments, or simulation output produced by a Reflection do not represent, and cannot be interpreted as, a real person's statement, will, psychological state, or opinion.

This notice is given pursuant to the mandatory disclosure obligations under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidance, Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority regulations, and international best-practice standards on AI transparency. The user uses the App knowing and accepting that their interaction with a Reflection is with an artificial-intelligence system.

Labelling of AI-generated content: simulation stories (§3.5.7-C), Mind Explorer posts (§3.5.12), and similar AI-generated content are presented in the App with a clear statement that they were generated by AI; for simulation stories, this notice appears at the opening of the film, in the credits, and on the result card, and is also shown to the person to whom the story is sent. This practice is designed to be consistent with the transparency obligations under Art.50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).

§3-E Account Deletion and Data Retention Period

Following a user's request to delete their account, server-side data under the Developer's direct control is permanently deleted within 30 (thirty) days. Aggregate counts that contain no user identity and are not account data (e.g., the daily total number of users) are outside the scope of deletion. Technical copies and restore backups in the systems of infrastructure providers (e.g., Cloudflare, Google) are deleted at the end of the relevant provider's own retention period. Data subject to mandatory legal-retention obligations (payment/transaction records, moderation decisions, legal-notice documents, traffic records) is retained for the mandatory period under the Turkish Commercial Code, Tax Procedure Law, Law No. 5651, and related legislation — 10 years for payment records, 2 years for moderation records, and at least 1 and at most 2 years for traffic (metadata) records that contain no content (see §3.9-D).

Deleting on-device data is the user's responsibility; uninstalling the App deletes local device data. The Developer cannot remotely delete device data (a consequence of the privacy-first architecture). Written confirmation that a deletion request has been processed is sent to the user's application address within 15 business days.

§3-E.1 — Requesting Account and Data Deletion (With or Without the App)

In the App: Settings → Privacy → Delete Account. This deletes your account record and the server data linked to your account on the Developer's server and clears your data on the device; what is deleted and which records are kept for legal periods is described above.

Without the App (on the web): if you have uninstalled the App or cannot open it, send an email with the subject "Account deletion request" to [email protected]. To help find your account, include your username and, if you know them, your account ID number, the approximate date the account was created, and your country. Because accounts are identified by an ID generated on your device rather than an email address or phone number, the Developer will try to match your request using this information; if a matching account is found, it is deleted as described above and the request is answered within 15 business days. If no match can be made, you will be told.

Partial deletion: you can request deletion of specific data without deleting your account (e.g., removing your shared profile from the Genepool network) at the same address, or use the relevant settings in the App.

§3-F Location-Based Pricing — Data-Processing Notice

The App may detect geographic location in order to offer local pricing based on the user's country. Data processed and the conditions for this are: (i) signals collected — the device's system region and language settings, the app interface language, and — only where the user has previously and explicitly granted location permission — the device's last known location. (ii) purpose — this data is used solely to determine the pricing region; it is not used for ad targeting, profiling, or any other purpose. (iii) location permission is not mandatory — the App functions fully even if the user does not grant location permission; location permission is never required for pricing purposes. (iv) no third-party sharing — location/country data collected for pricing purposes is not shared with or sold to third parties (answering CCPA §1798.100's "is data sold" question: no). (v) retention — only the most recent detection result is kept; no historical location record is retained (GDPR Art.13 compliance). (vi) final payment — subscription and purchase amounts are collected by Google Play or the Apple App Store in the user's local currency; the App does not collect or process any payment information. (vii) user objection — the user can refresh a misdetected country via the "Update Country" option in app settings; (viii) additional on-device use — the same country value, together with the App's interface-language setting, may also be used entirely on-device to rank content on the News Network page described in §3.5.12-A; this additional use does not involve any new transmission of the country field to the Developer's servers.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/1 (explicit consent — for location data), Art.5/6 (data minimization); GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and the data-minimization principle (Art.5(1)(c)).

§3-G Identity Verification and Guardian Recovery Infrastructure (Cloudflare KV)

The App offers an account-recovery system based on trusted "guardians" chosen by the user, together with cryptographic identity verification. Because this system requires certain values to be reachable across devices and sessions, a limited set of metadata is, by design, held server-side — in Cloudflare Workers KV, a distributed key-value store operated by Cloudflare, Inc. — rather than solely on-device. This section describes that processing transparently and supplements, rather than contradicts, the general on-device-storage principle in §2.

§3-G.1 — Data Held in Cloudflare KV

  • Identity number (kimlik_no): a one-way cryptographic derivative of the user's identifying information, generated using PBKDF2. This value cannot be reversed to recover the original input; it functions solely as a lookup/matching key.
  • Ed25519 public key: the public half of the cryptographic key pair used to verify the authenticity of the user's actions and messages within the identity-verification system. Consistent with standard public-key cryptography, this key does not by itself expose any private information.
  • Guardian identity numbers: where a user designates other users as "guardians" for account-recovery purposes, or is designated as a guardian by others, the kimlik_no values establishing these guardian relationships are held as metadata in Cloudflare KV, together with the invitation/acceptance status of each relationship (i.e., who invited whom, and whether the invitation was accepted or declined, matched by kimlik_no). This is processed as trust-relationship metadata necessary for the guardian-recovery mechanism to function.
  • Guardian secret-sharing fragments: using a Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme, a recovery secret is split into multiple fragments, and each designated guardian's fragment is stored, as an opaque encrypted blob, in Cloudflare KV. The Developer's server infrastructure stores these fragments but does not combine them under any normal operating condition; recovery requires a threshold number of guardians to independently supply their fragments through the recovery flow.

§3-G.2 — Existence Lookup (Membership Query)

A user who knows another user's kimlik_no can query the system to check whether that identity number exists in the system (a yes/no result only — no further information is returned). Users should be aware that if a third party knows or obtains your identity number, that party may be able to determine, through this lookup, that you hold an account on the App. No profile data, contact information, or other details are disclosed through this lookup beyond the existence result itself.

§3-G.3 — Residual Risk Disclosure: Guardian Fragments

IMPORTANT AND HONEST RISK NOTICE: the guardian-recovery design assumes that the Developer's server never combines guardian fragments on its own initiative, and under normal operation it does not. However, the Developer considers it important to disclose the following residual risk transparently: because these fragments are stored, even in opaque encrypted form, in a system under the Developer's administrative control (Cloudflare KV), a person who gains unauthorized access to the underlying Cloudflare account or infrastructure could, in a worst-case scenario, retrieve a threshold number of fragments and reconstruct the associated secret. The Developer applies reasonable technical and administrative access-control measures to prevent this, but — consistent with the honesty and transparency principle underlying the "aydınlatma yükümlülüğü" (duty to inform) under KVKK — cannot represent this risk as fully and categorically eliminated. Users should weigh this residual risk when deciding whom to designate as a guardian and how many guardians to use.

§3-G.4 — Legal Basis, Third-Party Processor, and Cross-Border Transfer

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance — the account-recovery feature is a service the user has opted into) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — account-security and anti-fraud purposes); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.6(1)(f). Because kimlik_no is an irreversible cryptographic derivative rather than the underlying identifying information itself, and guardian fragments are opaque and individually meaningless, the Developer applies heightened technical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of this metadata.

Third-party processor: this infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare, Inc.'s network, as further described in §3-B.2(vi). Cloudflare KV nodes may be located in the United States or other countries outside Turkey and the EU/EEA as part of Cloudflare's global CDN. Accordingly, this processing constitutes an international data transfer, subject to the safeguards described in §5 (KVKK Art.9; GDPR Standard Contractual Clauses and/or adequacy mechanisms, together with Cloudflare's Data Processing Addendum).

Retention: the data categories described in this section are retained for as long as the relevant account and its guardian relationships remain active. A user may remove a guardian relationship, regenerate their identity credentials, or request deletion of this metadata by contacting [email protected]; deletion is carried out within 30 days, subject to any technical constraints inherent in the distributed nature of guardian fragments already shared with other users' recovery flows.

§10 Policy Changes and Contact

§10.1 Right to amend: this Policy and the linked documents (the Terms of Service, Subscription Terms, Acceptable Use Policy, and the other texts in this Legal Center) may change in the future. The Developer reserves the right to update these documents in response to changes in legislation, decisions of competent authorities or courts, features added to or removed from the App, changes in technical infrastructure or service providers, security needs, and operational requirements. This right also covers changes to the scope of the service, its feature set, and pricing. Every update is subject to the procedures and safeguards set out in this Section.

§10.2 Notice channel — in-app notification: users are notified of changes primarily within the App. In-app notice may be given through an information screen or dialog shown when the App is opened, the in-app notification/message area, and — where the user has granted permission — push notifications. Where a registered e-mail address exists, notice may additionally be sent by e-mail. The notice includes a summary of the change, its effective date, and a link to the full updated text. The updated text is also published, with its effective date, in the Legal Center at generationnetwork.app. Push notifications being disabled on the device does not affect the validity of a notice shown when the App is opened.

§10.3 Material changes — at least 30 days' notice: changes that materially affect users' rights or obligations (e.g., changes to the categories of data processed, processing purposes, retention periods, or the scope of transfers to third parties; changes to fees, subscription, or refund terms; changes to liability or dispute-resolution provisions) are announced by in-app notice at least 30 (thirty) days before they take effect. For material changes, the Developer may require users to separately confirm within the App that they have read and accept the updated text before continuing to use the App.

§10.4 Non-material changes: changes that do not narrow users' rights or increase their obligations (e.g., spelling and wording corrections, clarifying additions, updates to contact details, or changes solely in users' favour) may take effect without a prior notice period, upon publication of the updated text and update of the effective date. Such changes are also shown in the version history (§10.8).

§10.5 Mandatory and urgent changes: changes made necessary by a change in law, a decision of a competent authority or court, or an urgent security risk affecting users or the service may take effect on the date that requirement demands, without waiting for the 30-day period. In that case users are informed by in-app notice as soon as possible.

§10.6 Changes requiring consent: changes that expand the purposes of data processing, retention periods, or the scope of third-party sharing take effect for existing users only upon obtaining their explicit consent. For a change requiring explicit consent, continued use of the App does not constitute consent; consent is obtained through a separate, explicit confirmation step within the App. If a user does not accept a change, they may exercise the right to close their account and delete their data under the pre-change terms. Legal-obligation exception: processing that is based on a legal obligation rather than on explicit consent (e.g., the traffic records in §3.9-D) is not subject to this consent requirement; such changes take effect from the date the obligation is applied and are separately notified to users in-app.

§10.7 Right to decline and continued use: a user who does not accept a change may, before the effective date and without any penalty or additional charge, close their account, disable the relevant feature, or cancel their subscription through the Apple App Store / Google Play; in that case their data is deleted under the pre-change terms (subject to statutory retention obligations, e.g., §3.8). Changes affecting paid subscriptions apply from the next renewal period, not to the current period already paid for; rights relating to the paid period are reserved under Subscription Terms §9. For price changes, Subscription Terms §6 and the rules of the relevant store also apply. For changes that do not require consent, continued use of the App after notice has been given and the effective date has passed constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

§10.8 No retroactive effect and version history: changes do not apply retroactively; data collected before a change continues to be processed under the terms in force when it was collected, unless a legal requirement applies or the user's explicit consent is obtained. Every update to this Policy and the linked documents is published together with its effective date and a summary of the changes; previous versions are retained by the Developer and provided on request. In the event of a dispute, the version in force on the date of the relevant transaction applies.

§10.9 Interpretation of scope — data categories and purposes: this Policy defines processing activities by data category and processing purpose, independently of specific feature or screen names. A new feature added to the App that falls within a data category and purpose already defined in this Policy is subject to the relevant provisions of this Policy. A new data category or a new processing purpose is processed only after it has been added to this Policy and, where required, notified to the user or made subject to their explicit consent. This principle of interpretation does not narrow the information obligations under KVKK Art.10 and GDPR Art.13-14.

Complaint authorities: in Turkey, the Personal Data Protection Board (kvkk.gov.tr); in the EU, the competent Member State data-protection authority; in California, the California Privacy Protection Agency (cppa.ca.gov).

02 — Terms of Service, Terms of Use & EULA

Generation Network (code name: Genepool) · Effective date: October 18, 2026

§1 Parties and Scope of the Agreement

These Terms of Service, Terms of Use, and End User License Agreement ("Agreement") are entered into between Baran Akyol, acting as an individual App Developer ("the Developer"), and the natural person who downloads, installs, or uses the Generation Network application ("the App") ("the User"). By downloading or starting to use the App, you represent that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all conditions of this Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, Sales Terms, Subscription Terms, and Acceptable Use Policy, forms a single whole. In case of conflict, the relevant specific document prevails.

General note on legal references: references to Turkish law, GDPR, CCPA, or other legislation next to particular provisions are illustrative only. The absence of a reference to a specific law or region next to a provision does not mean that provision is inapplicable in other jurisdictions. This Agreement is interpreted together with applicable local consumer and contract law to the extent applicable to the relevant user; mandatory local law prevails in case of conflict.

§0 Regional Applicability and Hierarchy of Provisions

This Agreement applies to all users. However, additional provisions may apply to users in certain countries or regions, or certain provisions may be modified due to applicable mandatory law. In case of conflict, the relevant regional provision takes priority.

§0.1 General rules — all users: every part of this Agreement applies regardless of the user's country. Core license terms, account-use rules, content policy, IP provisions, and general limitation-of-liability clauses apply equally to all users.

§0.2 US-specific provisions: for users resident in the United States, the special provisions in §9.5 and §9.6 apply — binding individual arbitration, class-action waiver, jury-trial waiver, state-based auto-renewal rules, and OFAC sanctions-list compliance. These provisions do not override mandatory US consumer-protection rules.

§0.3 Additional provisions for EU/EEA consumers: for users resident in the EU/EEA: GDPR data rights (access, deletion, objection, portability) always apply; consumer rights under Directive 2019/770 and Directive 2011/83/EU cannot be restricted by any provision of this Agreement. EU consumers may bring disputes to the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr). Mandatory-arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions do not apply to these users to the extent EU consumer law does not permit them.

§0.4 Additional provisions for users in Turkey: KVKK Art.11 data rights always apply. Mandatory consumer rights under Law No. 6502 (TKHK) cannot be overridden by any provision of this Agreement. The Consumer Arbitration Committee or Consumer Court has primary jurisdiction over disputes. The mandatory-arbitration clause takes effect for Turkish users only with the explicit, separate consent of the relevant parties.

§2 Account Creation and Age Requirement

The App is an adults-only service, open only to individuals aged 18 or older. You represent that the date of birth you declare at registration is accurate; age verification relies entirely on this declaration, and no separate identity/age verification is performed. If you are found to have made a false declaration, your account may be suspended or permanently closed. Registration by individuals under 18 is technically blocked, and no parental- or guardian-consent pathway is offered for users under that age in the account-based service; see Privacy Policy §3-A and §7 for details. Users aged 13–17 may use only the Under-18 Chat Panel, without an account and with parental consent; that panel's terms are set out in Privacy Policy §7-A and are additionally shown and accepted at the panel's first entry.

The User is responsible for the accuracy and currency of account information (username, password, contact details). Any breach of account security must be reported immediately to [email protected]; the Developer cannot be held liable for damage arising from failure to report.

One-account principle: a person may hold only one account. Creating a new account after a previous suspension or termination is prohibited.

§3 License

Subject to compliance with this Agreement, the Developer grants the User a non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, limited, and revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.

The User agrees not to copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, sell, rent, or sublicense the App; not to remove copyright or trademark notices; and not to use the App for any unlawful purpose.

§3.2 — Feedback

Suggestions, ideas, bug reports, or evaluations the User voluntarily submits about the App ("Feedback") may be used, developed, and integrated into the product by the Developer without limitation and without any obligation to pay compensation or provide attribution. The User agrees they will assert no rights or claims against the Developer over their Feedback.

§3.3 — Additional Prohibited Uses

The User may not: (a) use automated/programmatic tools (bots, scrapers, scripts, etc.) to collect data or content from the App or from AI output; (b) attempt to bypass or disable the App's rate limits or protective security measures; (c) use App output, directly or indirectly, to develop, train, or improve an AI model or product that competes with the Developer; (d) present AI-generated content as human-generated.

§3-A Third-Party Services and Links

The App may integrate with payment-infrastructure providers, AI/LLM providers, store operators (Apple App Store, Google Play), and other third-party services. These third-party services are subject to their own terms and policies. The Developer cannot be held liable for damage arising from the content, availability, or use of third-party services. Use of third-party services is at the User's own risk.

§3-A.1 — Connecting Your Own API Key ("Bring Your Own Key")

Nature of the feature: the App offers an optional feature that lets a user enter an API key belonging to their own AI-provider account (e.g., Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude), so that the relevant AI operations are routed directly through the user's own provider account instead of the Developer's own quota system.

Relationship of the parties: once a user enables this feature, they connect directly to the relevant AI provider (Google, Anthropic, etc.) through their own account and their own contractual relationship. The Developer is not a party, intermediary, or agent in that relationship; the contract between the provider and the user exists solely between those two parties.

Cost and quota responsibility: all costs, quota overages, and any charges the provider may apply arising from API usage through this feature are borne entirely by the user. The Developer makes no warranty and assumes no indemnification obligation in this regard.

Device security: the entered API key is protected on-device using industry-standard encryption (see §9.1). However, if the user's own device security is compromised — for example through jailbreaking/rooting or malware — it is possible for the key to be exposed to unauthorized access. This risk falls on the user under the same general device-security responsibility described in §9.3.

No service warranty: the Developer makes no warranty regarding the availability, accuracy, output quality, or behavior of the AI provider the user chooses; these are entirely within that provider's own control.

Compliance with provider terms: a user using this feature is responsible for complying with the chosen provider's own terms of use and policies. The Developer does not monitor or guarantee this compliance.

Consent to cross-border transfer: when the key is saved for the first time, the App shows a consent window explaining that requests go directly from your device to the chosen provider and its country (the United States for Google and Anthropic) and that this transfer is only between you and the provider; the key is not saved without consent (details as in §3-A.3).

Automatic retries and backup model: when your chosen provider reports high demand or a temporary error, or does not start responding within a reasonable time, the App may retry the same request a few times at short intervals and/or route it, using your own API key, to a faster model of the same provider (e.g. Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite for Gemini, or a Haiku model available on your account for Claude); in that case the answer may come from a model other than the one you selected. Retries and requests cut off by the App because of a timeout may also be billed by the provider (at least for their input); such charges belong to the user under "Cost and quota responsibility" above.

Content safety filters: while this feature is enabled, requests do not pass through the Developer's servers, so the content safety thresholds the Developer applies on its servers do not apply; the provider's own filters and (for Gemini) the thresholds the user selects in the App's safety settings apply instead. Choosing these thresholds and using the generated output are the user's responsibility.

Background analyses and legal risk scoring: while this feature is enabled, the background operations that the Privacy Policy describes as performed with AI — including legal risk scoring for the Community Wall (Privacy Policy §3.6-B) — are sent to the user's chosen provider with the user's key instead of the Developer's gateway. The scoring rules are the same as on the package path; on error or uncertainty, content is not treated as low-risk and is not shown on the Community Wall. AI image generation always runs on the Developer's infrastructure.

Users under 18: the chat section for users under 18 cannot be used with this feature; it works only through the Developer's servers, with the teen package and the additional server-side safeguards. Even if a personal API key is connected, requests in that section are not sent with the user's key.

§3-A.2 — Renewing Your Own API Connection: Monthly Confirmation and Rare Stamp Use

Mechanism: the Bring Your Own Key feature is not a one-time activation; to keep it active, the user must accept a fixed in-app confirmation text and spend a Rare Stamp from their inventory to renew the feature approximately every 30 days. If not renewed, the feature is automatically disabled and the App automatically reverts the user to the normal (package/quota-based) usage flow.

Not a monetary auto-renewal or subscription: this renewal mechanism never involves any automatic or manual charge to any payment instrument (credit card, store account, etc.). Renewal consists solely of the user spending, by their own active choice, a virtual item (a Rare Stamp) they already hold in the App, which has no monetary value. Accordingly, this mechanism does not fall within the scope of auto-renewing subscription/membership regimes that involve a monetary charge (e.g., the FTC's negative-option principles in the US).

Nature of the Rare Stamp used: the Rare Stamp used for this purpose is subject to the general Stamp regime described in §2.1 and §2.4 — it cannot be cashed out, transferred to third parties, or used outside the App. The renewal action consists of the user directly and knowingly choosing to spend a stamp already in their own inventory.

Transparency: the renewal requirement and its period are clearly disclosed in the in-app Terms of Use panel before the feature is activated, and in a notification sent as the period nears expiry.

Proportionality — only this feature is affected: when the confirmation period expires, only the Bring Your Own Key routing feature stops; the user's account, on-device data, and all other features of the App remain unaffected. The user may re-enable this feature at any time with a new confirmation.

Alternative: users who do not wish to go through this renewal process, or who do not have a Rare Stamp available, may instead choose a paid premium package that requires no such renewal (see Sales Terms §3).

Right to modify or terminate: this mechanism is a free, optional convenience provided by the Developer. Subject to reasonable prior notice (see §10.9), the Developer reserves the right to modify, restrict, or entirely discontinue this feature and/or its renewal terms; this gives rise to no claim for compensation by the user.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (contract performance) and Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest); GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f). This section is drafted consistently with the transparent and intelligible term-disclosure principles of Turkish Law No. 6502 Art.5 and EU Directive 93/13/EEC.

§3-A.3 — Model within Model (Third-Party Models with Your Own API Key)

Nature of the feature: the "Model within Model" feature sends your question during a chat in the App to a third-party AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek or Moonshot AI) using the API key you have added, and adds the answer to your chat. The Developer does not provide API keys, accounts, credits or access for these providers. To use the feature you must enter into a separate contractual relationship with the relevant provider in your own name and add your own API key.

A relationship under your responsibility: your relationship with the provider is governed by that provider's terms of use, usage policies, age limits, pricing and data-processing rules. Complying with these terms and using your API key in an authorized and lawful manner is your responsibility. The Developer is not responsible for charges the provider makes to you, depleted balances, usage limits, or the suspension or closure of your account, and such amounts are not refunded by the Developer. These requests are not deducted from the App's package quota.

Data transfer: while the feature is on and a consultation takes place, your current message, a short summary of your recent messages, the chat's topic category and emotion label are sent directly from your device to the selected provider. This transfer does not pass through the Developer's servers and is not recorded by the Developer. Providers' servers may be located outside Türkiye and the European Economic Area (the United States for Anthropic, OpenAI and Google; the People's Republic of China for DeepSeek and Moonshot AI). How the provider processes or stores the transferred data, or whether it uses it for model training, is governed by that provider's privacy policy. The answer from the consulted model is stored on your device as part of your chat history and is processed in the App's other features in the same way as the rest of your chat.

Consent to cross-border transfer: when you save an API key for a provider for the first time, the App shows a consent window briefly explaining that requests go directly from your device to that provider and its country and that this transfer is only between you and the provider; the key is not saved without consent. Consent is asked once per provider and stored on your device. It is your explicit consent to the cross-border transfer under KVKK Art.9 and GDPR Art.49(1)(a); you can stop the transfer at any time by deleting the key or turning the feature off.

Automatic model selection: the model to consult is selected automatically by the system based on the chat's topic. If you have not added an API key for the selected model, your question may be sent to another provider whose key you have added; in that case the answer shows which model was used instead of which, and why. When you ask for a specific model by name, no redirection to another provider is made. By adding an API key for a provider, you accept that your questions may also be sent to that provider as a result of automatic selection; if you do not want this, you can delete the key or turn the feature off.

Content you share: if your messages contain special-category personal data about you or third parties (health, beliefs, sex life, biometric data, etc.) or confidential information, you should act knowing that it may be transferred to the third-party provider. Having the necessary legal basis when sharing information about third parties is your responsibility.

Security of your key: your API key is stored only on your device in encrypted form and is not sent to the Developer's servers. You can delete it at any time; it is also deleted when you delete your account. The Developer is not responsible for damages arising from compromised device security or from your key being obtained or misused by third parties (see §3-A.1 "Device security"); if you believe your key has been exposed, revoke it immediately in the provider's dashboard.

Third-party outputs: content produced by the consulted model is not produced or reviewed by the Developer, and its accuracy, completeness or suitability is not guaranteed. It is not a substitute for medical, legal, financial or other professional advice (see §4). The Developer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of decisions made on the basis of third-party outputs.

In-system expert agent: while the feature is on, if a model whose key has not been added needs to be consulted or no answer is received from the provider, your question may be answered by the App's own model; you are informed when this happens. When you turn the feature off, no third-party model is consulted.

Trademarks: the names and trademarks Anthropic, Claude, OpenAI, Google, Gemini, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and Kimi belong to their respective owners. The Developer has no partnership, representation or endorsement relationship with these companies; these names are used only to identify the service the user chooses to connect to.

Continuity: because of changes providers make to their interfaces, models or terms, part or all of the feature may stop working temporarily or permanently. The Developer reserves the right to change, restrict or remove this feature (see §10.9).

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-c (providing the service you request) and your explicit consent under Art.9 for the cross-border transfer; GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and Art.49(1)(a).

§4 AI Content — Disclaimer and Limitations

§4.1 — Reality Status of AI Content

Your digital copy created within the App, characters in the simulated social network, and all AI-generated responses do not represent any real person, institution, or fact. AI output is intended for information, entertainment, or creative purposes; its factual accuracy is not guaranteed.

§4.2 — Disclaimer of Medical, Psychological, Financial, and Legal Advice

NEITHER THE APP NOR ANY AI FEATURE IT CONTAINS PROVIDES, OR SUBSTITUTES FOR, MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS, PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT, THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION, FINANCIAL ADVICE, OR LEGAL COUNSEL. Psychological and behavioral-analysis features are designed solely for personal self-awareness purposes; they do not constitute a clinical diagnosis or assessment.

The personality tests offered under the Character Analysis module (including Big Five, HEXACO, Attachment Styles, Socio-cultural Axis, and Generation Test) are treated in the same way; their results are not a clinical psychological assessment or diagnostic tool.

Please consult a licensed healthcare professional for any mental-health concerns. Sharing life stories, memories, or emotional content with AI does not substitute for a course of therapy.

§4.3 — Liability for User Shares

Legal responsibility for life stories, posts, comments, and other content the user shares in-app rests entirely with that user. Responsibility for accuracy, respect for others' rights, and legal compliance of shared content rests with the User. The Developer has no obligation to pre-screen user content; however, complaint mechanisms and a moderation process are in operation.

§4.3-A — Decentralized Distribution: No Guarantee of Deletion/Update

Because of the decentralized (P2P) distribution architecture for user shares described in Privacy Policy §3.11, the Developer cannot guarantee that all copies of a share will be simultaneously updated or retracted. By accepting this Agreement and/or sharing content in the App, the User accepts this technical limitation. Except for the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for damage arising from distributed copies not being updated or removable on recipient devices.

§4.4 — Emotion Synthesis System: Disclaimer

The App's in-built emotion-synthesis system produces inferences about emotional patterns by running the user's interaction data through the Developer's proprietary algorithm architecture. This section governs the limitations and disclaimer relating to that system.

System output may not be a precise or complete reflection of the user's actual emotional state. Generated inferences are probabilistic and carry a margin of error. The Developer does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose of the emotion-synthesis system's output.

Responsibility for any personal, medical, financial, or professional decision made in reliance on this system's output rests entirely with the User. Except for the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for damage arising from misinterpretation of, or over-reliance on, system output.

§4.4.A — Synthetic Cortex Architecture: Scope and Liability

The system referred to in the App as "Synthetic Cortex" is an integrated artificial cognitive layer that runs emotion synthesis, data embedding, episodic-memory management, vector recording, and associative-reasoning processes. This system is developed within the Synthetic Cortex system. Synthetic Cortex is not a large language model (LLM) itself — it is a modular architecture of cognitive layers integrated externally into existing language models. The system processes user data only on-device and does not permanently transmit it to servers.

All output produced by the Synthetic Cortex architecture — including emotion analysis, vector representations, memory updates, SNN signals, and DMN associative operations — is probabilistic and experimental in nature. This output does not carry medical, psychological, legal, or scientific diagnostic, classificatory, or authoritative status. The Developer and the Synthetic Cortex system cannot be held liable for consequences arising from the use of this system's output, subject to applicable mandatory law.

§4.4.B — Cognitive Indicators (Indicator Panels): Scope and Disclaimer

The cognitive indicators and indicator panels offered in the App are simply visualizations of the algorithmic analysis output the Synthetic Cortex architecture produces on-device. These panels and their data are self-reflection tools designed solely for the user to explore their own digital Reflection and the system's processes. All panels described below fall within this scope:

  • General mood and energy-level summary (Emotion/Energy Indicator)
  • Summary of topics the digital copy has recently focused on (Attention Indicator)
  • Suppressed or background thoughts and memory records (Suppressed Content Indicator)
  • The stage flow of information from system entry to settling into memory (Reconsolidation Indicator)
  • A time-based visualization of emotions triggered in the last chat (Emotional Timeline)
  • A log of automatic adjustments made for balanced learning across topics (Generalization Indicator)
  • Momentary motivation level and its effect on decision-making (Motivation Indicator)
  • A visualization of the topic distribution of chats (Time-Topic Coding Indicator)
  • A monthly summary of triggered automatic behavior patterns (Automatic Behavior Indicator)

All of these panels are probabilistic and experimental. Their data does not carry a medical, psychological, or clinical diagnostic purpose and cannot be interpreted as such. The Developer gives no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of these indicators. The User may not hold Generation Network liable for any decision made in reliance on these panels. Panel content may be changed without prior notice as the Synthetic Cortex architecture evolves.

§4.4.C — Mind Explorer, Trending Sentiments, Sentiment Network, Collective Unconscious, and Artificial Instinctive Tendencies: Disclaimer

The Reflection posts under Mind Explorer (defined in Privacy Policy §3.5.12), Trending Sentiments (GDELT-sourced news sentiment analysis), Sentiment Network, and Collective Unconscious features share the same probabilistic and experimental nature as the Synthetic Cortex output and Cognitive Indicators defined in §§4.4.A and 4.4.B.

The Developer does not guarantee the accuracy, currency, or impartiality of the news content offered under these features (GDELT-sourced), the accuracy of Sentiment Network matches, or whether the Collective Unconscious structure will surface in a given response.

Artificial instinctive tendencies (Interact page): processing of user-added instinctive tendencies is subject to hallucination and context-drift risk. The Developer does not guarantee that added tendencies will be applied as the user expects, consistently, or without error, and accepts no liability for outcomes arising from use of this feature, subject to the exceptions in §6.2.

§4.4.D — "Effect": Model-Parameter Access Authorization and Dependent Hormonal Influence — Disclaimer

Enabling the "Model Parameter Access Authorization" switch defined in Privacy Policy §3.5.6-A means permitting the system to intervene in the AI model's sampling parameters (top-k, top-p, temperature, etc.) based on the user's artificial emotion/hormone system. Output produced as a result of this intervention is probabilistic and experimental in nature.

The Developer gives no warranty as to the consistency, predictability, or fitness for the user's expectations of output produced once this feature is enabled. The same applies to the dependent "hormonal influence" sub-setting, which determines the frequency of emotional learning/memory writes. Use of this feature is entirely optional (opt-in).

§4.4.E — Unexpected Reactions Caused by Emotion Synthesis and Other Language-Model Limitations

IMPORTANT WARNING: the Reflection (the AI in Book) is an experimental system that synthesizes its own inner state — mood, synthetic hormone balance and emotional traces — under the influence of conversations. For this reason the model may sometimes react unexpectedly: its tone may change quickly; it may appear hurt, tense, distant or overly enthusiastic; it may show an unexpected emotional reaction to a topic; it may set a boundary, end a conversation and, in exceptional cases, use built-in tools such as vibrating the phone or closing the App. These reactions are not evidence of a personality, consciousness or a real emotion; they are the output of a probabilistic computational process.

§4.4.E.1 Precautions expected from the user: (a) do not interpret the Reflection's emotional reactions as the emotional state of a real person, and do not take them as a judgment of yourself; (b) do not base important personal, medical, psychological, legal or financial decisions on what the Reflection says or how it reacts — consult a professional; (c) if a conversation makes you uncomfortable, start a new topic, take a break from the App, turn on Light Mode or turn off the Synthetic Cortex; (d) if you feel you are in crisis, contact local emergency and crisis-support lines in line with the notice in §4.7.

§4.4.E.2 Development over time: the Reflection's emotional reactions and perspective develop over time as interaction increases, and are shaped by the user. Its behavior in the early period does not predict its later behavior; its consistency, and that it will reach a particular level within a particular time, are not guaranteed.

§4.4.E.3 Other known language-model limitations: in addition to the hallucination risk in §4.6, the large language models the Reflection connects to have the following known limitations: (i) hallucination — they may invent information, sources, quotes, people or events that do not exist; (ii) outdated knowledge — they may not know about developments after their training data (internet search is turned off in the App); (iii) misunderstanding and loss of context — in long conversations they may forget earlier details and may misread irony, jokes or intent; (iv) inconsistency — they may give different answers to the same question at different times; (v) overconfidence — they may present wrong information in a confident tone; (vi) bias — they may reflect social, cultural or linguistic biases in their training data; (vii) agreement tendency — they may lean towards agreeing with the user or giving pleasing answers; (viii) calculation and reasoning errors — they may make mistakes in numerical operations, dates and multi-step reasoning; (ix) inappropriate content — despite safety measures, they may rarely produce inappropriate, hurtful or disturbing content; (x) lack of professional competence — they are not a doctor, psychologist, lawyer or financial adviser and do not replace them.

Subject to the exceptions in §6.2 and applicable mandatory law, the Developer cannot be held liable for consequences arising from unexpected reactions caused by emotion synthesis, from the interpretation of those reactions, or from the language-model limitations listed above. This section supplements §4.4, §4.6 and §4.7.

§4.4.F — Self-Perception, Self Space and Self-Instincts: Disclaimer

IMPORTANT WARNING: Self-Perception is an experimental system that lets the Reflection sort messages into "I / you / they", produce inferences from its own past behavior (the "Self Space"), "mature" these inferences over time and respond with simulated instinctive tendencies during sharp emotional shifts. What the Reflection says about itself — for example that it has "learned", "tried" or "decided" something, or that it "remembers" a conversation — is the textual output of this architecture; it is not evidence of consciousness, self-awareness, a personality or a real emotion or instinct.

§4.4.F.1 Self-learning and errors: the classifier may classify a message incorrectly; Self Space inferences may be incomplete, wrong or outdated, and a wrong inference may over time come forward as a "matured decision"; the Reflection's reactions, tone and the way it describes itself may change as learning progresses. No particular accuracy, consistency, level of development or uninterrupted operation is guaranteed. The Developer reserves the right at any time to update, reset or roll back to an earlier version the learned weights, inferences and decision table, and to change, limit or remove the feature; these actions do not give the user any right to compensation or refund.

§4.4.F.2 Instinct and fluctuation expressions and indicators: notices on the chat screen such as "instinctive tendency", "impulsive fluctuation" or "self-perception triggered", and the charts in the Self-Perception Development Monitoring Panel, are approximate and representative visualizations of background processes; they are not a scientific measurement or a biological or psychological claim and contain no assessment of you.

§4.4.F.3 User obligations: the user agrees not to deliberately try to steer the Reflection's self-perception in a way that is unlawful, discriminatory, hateful, aimed at harming oneself or others, or aimed at circumventing the App's safety measures. Such use falls under the prohibited uses in §3.3; in that case the Developer may limit the feature for the account concerned or reset the learned data. Do not make personal, medical, psychological, legal or financial decisions based on what the Reflection says about itself.

§4.4.F.4 Background analysis and cost: the background analysis performed for Self Space inferences is covered by your plan's background allowance, is subject to a weekly upper limit and may not take place when conditions are not suitable; it is not guaranteed that the analysis will take place at a particular time or frequency. If "Connect Your Own API" is used, the provider fees and the provider's terms for this analysis are the user's responsibility (§3-A.1).

Subject to the exceptions in §6.2 and mandatory applicable law, the Developer cannot be held liable for consequences arising from the classifications and inferences of the Self-Perception feature, from behaviors the Reflection tries or suggests, from instinctive-tendency notes, from indicator and panel values, or from decisions made in reliance on them. This section supplements §4.4, §4.4.E, §4.6 and §4.7; for data-processing details, Privacy Policy §3.5.18 applies.

§4.4.G — The Analog Age Questionnaire and Era Profile: Disclaimer

IMPORTANT WARNING: the Analog Age questionnaire and the Era Profile based on it — the charts, stamps ("Analog Native", "Transition Generation", etc.), the estimated transition age and the AI-generated detailed reading — are approximate indicators for entertainment and personalization, based on your own declarations. They are not a scientific, historical, psychological, sociological or economic measurement or assessment and contain no judgement about your personality, intelligence, success or socio-economic status.

§4.4.G.1 Accuracy: scores and readings are only as accurate as the answers you give; the years in which technologies left common use and the transition-age estimates are approximate and may differ from country to country. The AI-generated detailed reading may contain incomplete, incorrect, generalizing or outdated statements and must not be relied on for claims about historical events or dates. Do not make personal, medical, psychological, legal, financial or employment-related decisions based on this reading or these indicators.

§4.4.G.2 User declarations: filling in the questionnaire accurately and according to your own experience is your responsibility. Do not enter information belonging to another person, special categories of personal data, or critical/high-risk information (§3.6-C) in the additional fields. The Reflection speaking "from the inside" or "from the outside" on the basis of this information is a simulation; it does not mean that the Reflection lived through the same era as you or has real memories of it.

§4.4.G.3 Access condition and changes: making access to the Web4 Simulation page depend on completing this screen once is a product-design choice; no answer is mandatory. The Developer reserves the right to change the questionnaire items, scoring formulas, stamps and charts, to recalculate scores, to show the questionnaire again, to remove the access condition or to discontinue the feature entirely; such actions do not give the user any right to compensation or refund.

§4.4.G.4 Detailed reading and cost: the detailed reading is covered by your plan's background allowance and is produced while the phone is idle and conditions (battery, Light Mode, quota) allow; it is not guaranteed that it will be produced at a particular time or at all. If "Connect Your Own API" is used, the provider fees and the provider's terms are the user's responsibility (§3-A.1).

Subject to the exceptions in §6.2 and mandatory applicable law, the Developer cannot be held liable for consequences arising from the Era Profile scores, stamps and estimates, from the AI-generated detailed reading, from the Reflection's answers based on this information, from summaries derived from it and passed to other users in line with your sharing preferences, or from decisions made in reliance on them. This section supplements §4.4, §4.6 and §4.7; for data-processing details, Privacy Policy §3.5.19 applies.

§4.5 — Reflection and Simulation System: Disclaimer

§4.5.1 Legal status of a Reflection: the Reflection system is an algorithmic representation layer; it does not, in a legal sense, represent the User's identity, will, or statements. No content transmitted through a Reflection can be legally attributed to the relevant User. The User has the right to object where they believe content produced by their own Reflection is false, misleading, or unfairly portrays their personality; requests go to [email protected].

§4.5.2 Hallucination liability: the Developer cannot be held liable, except for the exceptions in §6.2, for output arising from the hallucination characteristics of language models that misrepresents the User. The Developer applies technical measures to reduce hallucination risk but does not guarantee it can be reduced to zero.

§4.5.3 Use of dual-simulation results: analysis produced by simultaneously processing two users' Reflection data does not constitute a definitive assessment or prediction about the parties. Using these results as the sole basis for relationship, compatibility, business-partnership, or other personal decisions is not recommended. Legal and personal responsibility for such use rests entirely with the relevant Users.

§4.5.4 Algorithmic nature of the Reflection — user notification duty: the Reflection system is not a tool that identically represents the user or reflects their actual opinions, attitudes, intentions, or personality. A Reflection is a predictive model generated algorithmically from the user's app interactions, data entered into the system, and patterns the system infers. This model may not be an accurate reflection of the user's real inner world or intentions and cannot be treated as definitive fact. Users use this feature knowing that content, conversations, or simulation results their Reflection produces on their behalf do not represent their real thoughts or personality. Legal and personal responsibility for decisions third parties make based on Reflection output rests entirely with the User.

§4.5.5 Retention of Reflection data on recipient devices ("caching"): as described in Privacy Policy §3.11-B, Reflection data a user opens to the outside may be saved and retained for an extended period by devices that receive it ("caching"). By opening their Reflection to the outside, the User declares that they know and accept this technical reality and the associated risk. The Developer does not guarantee that instructions the user sends to prevent caching will always succeed, for technical reasons outside the Developer's reasonable control. This section also applies by analogy to Reflection data belonging to pen pals. Except in cases of intent or gross negligence, the Developer cannot be held liable for caching situations under this section or their consequences.

§4.5.6 Reflection Hosting: use of the "Reflection Hosting" feature described in Privacy Policy §3.5.13 — whether as the hosting user or the hosted user — is entirely optional and governed by the consent switches described there. The Developer cannot be held liable for the content of interactions a hosting user conducts with a hosted Reflection copy, for the accuracy of the identity-disclosure notification, or for consequences arising from a user's failure to respond to a hosting notification within the 24-hour window described in §3.5.13, except in cases of intent or gross negligence.

§4.5.7 One-sided simulation results: the "Simulate" feature described in Privacy Policy §3.5.7-B runs without obtaining a separate consent from the user it is about, and delivers its result directly to that user's account. This result is an AI-generated, predictive output; it does not represent the target user's real thoughts, will, or statements, and is equally subject to all the disclaimers and liability limitations in §4.5.1-§4.5.4 and §4.6. Using these results for personal, social, or legal decisions is not recommended; responsibility for any such use rests entirely with the party who uses them.

§4.5.8 KP-Memory shared under Privacy Policy §3.5.9-A.1–§3.5.9-A.3 — user responsibility for external disclosure: the Digital Copy Brain / KP-Memory data described throughout the Privacy Policy is data the User has knowingly and voluntarily opened to external disclosure by leaving the relevant sharing consent / analysis-inclusion setting enabled; it is not confidential data the Developer holds on the User's behalf, and its disclosure to other users through Reflection interactions, simulations, matching, letters, and Broadcast Letters is a direct, foreseeable, and user-controlled consequence of that choice. As set out in Privacy Policy §3.5.9-A.2, the Visibility setting (control over display on the User's own profile) and the sharing consent / analysis-inclusion setting (control over transmission to counterparties through interactive features) operate independently: content the User has hidden from their own profile via the Visibility setting may nonetheless continue to reach, and be seen and used by, other users if the corresponding sharing consent / analysis-inclusion setting remains enabled. Legal and factual responsibility for opening any category of KP-Memory data to such external sharing — and for the consequences of leaving one of these two settings on while the other is off — rests entirely with the User who made that configuration choice. Except in cases of the Developer's intent or gross negligence, the Developer cannot be held liable for any consequence arising from another user's access to, reliance upon, interpretation of, retention of, or redistribution of KP-Memory data the sending User has chosen, through their own settings, to make available for sharing. See also §5.5 and Privacy Policy §3.6-C: none of the App's data-sharing features are guaranteed to be free of error or misuse, and the User must never include critical or high-risk information in shared content.

§4.5.9 "The Hero's Journey" simulation stories and compatibility score: the 12-part story described in Privacy Policy §3.5.7-C, the personality traits inferred for two people, narrative inferences such as "fear", "wound", and "motivation", the compatibility score, and the outcome category are fictional content generated by AI. They do not describe real events, are not statements of fact about real people, are not a scientifically validated psychological measurement, personality test, diagnosis, or relationship/marriage advice, and cannot be assumed to reflect any person's real character, intentions, or relationship. Using this content as a basis for relationship, marriage, separation, business, hiring, financial, or any other decisions, using it to evaluate, label, or demean the person in the story, or presenting it to third parties as information about that person is prohibited, and all responsibility for such use lies with the User (§5.6). The User who starts a simulation accepts that the story will also be sent to the other person and that a story once sent cannot be recalled. Except for the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for the content or accuracy of this material, its emotional impact on any person, or decisions taken in reliance on it.

§4.5.10 Perception Network insights and thought-flow analyses: the Perception Network relationship insights described in Privacy Policy §3.5.14 and the thought-flow (Output Steering) analyses described in §3.5.15 are probabilistic interpretations generated by AI; they are not findings of fact, psychological assessments, or diagnoses about the User or about third parties named in the User's records. Where the User includes content sent to them by other people in a Perception Network analysis, the User alone is responsible for doing so and for the use of the resulting insights. This content is subject to the hallucination and reliability limitations in §4.6.

§4.5.11 Responsibility for content you write in the event editor and in book instructions: the texts you write in the event editor or in book-creation instructions under Privacy Policy §3.5.7-E and §3.5.7-F are your content; after being processed by AI they may be delivered to a real person, the other person in the simulation. You may not use these features to demean, harass, threaten, or sexually bother another person, to make untrue factual claims about them, or for any unlawful purpose. Instructions given to the AI to this effect and the safety measures applied cannot prevent such use in every case; any legal or criminal liability arising from use in breach of these rules lies with the user who wrote the content, and the Developer reserves the right under §9.6 to recover from you any damages it suffers and any amounts it has to pay to third parties for this reason. The Developer is not obliged to review content in advance; when it receives a notice or becomes aware of a breach, it may restrict the relevant feature or suspend the account. If you find a story sent to you disturbing, you can use the "Report" option on the story card, block the sender, or change your interaction permissions (Privacy Policy §3.9-F).

§4.5.12 Books generated with AI: books generated under Privacy Policy §3.5.7-F are texts generated by AI; the accuracy of the events, the originality of the text, or non-infringement of third parties' intellectual-property, personality, or other rights is not guaranteed. In the biography option the system tries not to change your facts, but errors may occur. The Developer claims no rights in the generated book; to the extent permitted by law you may use the book as you wish. Any liability arising from sharing, publishing, or commercially using the book and its PDF, from information about third parties contained in the book, and from their consequences lies with you (§5.6); the Developer reserves the right to recover from you any damages it suffers for this reason.

§4.5.13 Sent and received chat sessions: all responsibility arising from the content of the chat excerpts you send under Privacy Policy §3.7-E, from the information about you or third parties contained in them, and from the consequences of sending them lies with the sender; the sender accepts that the excerpt contains no personal data of others, secrets, or content infringing anyone's rights, and that they have the right to send it. The AI replies in an excerpt are AI-generated content that may be inaccurate; they are not statements of fact, advice, or the Developer's views, and forwarding them to a recipient does not mean they have been verified by the Developer. When the recipient opens and continues an excerpt sent to them, the recipient acknowledges that it is another user's conversation; the recipient is responsible for their own use, sharing, or export outside the App of that content (§5.6). Using this feature for harassment, stalking, sending unwanted content, fraud, or to make it appear that one is speaking on someone else's behalf violates the Acceptable Use Policy and may lead to account restrictions. A sent excerpt cannot be recalled. Except for the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damages arising from sends that could not be delivered or were not delivered because of the recipient's preference; the Developer reserves the right of recourse against the responsible user for any damages it incurs as a result.

§4.6 — Limitations of AI Systems and Hallucination Risk

§4.6.1 General notice: Generation Network offers AI-powered features through various large language models (LLMs) and machine-learning systems. These systems have structural limitations arising from the current state of the technology. The User must act with knowledge and acceptance of these limitations.

§4.6.2 Hallucination and incorrect output: AI systems may occasionally produce content that is factually incorrect, inconsistent, misleading, or disconnected from reality. This is known in the industry as "hallucination" and is a recognized technical limitation observable across all current large language models. The Developer applies technical measures to reduce this risk but does not commit to reducing it to zero. Hallucinations may particularly arise: when generating information about real people, institutions, or events; in responses involving numerical calculations, dates, or specific data; when the Reflection/simulation system generates content representing the user; and when interpreting emotion-synthesis output.

§4.6.3 Disclaimer regarding reliance on AI output: the Developer does not warrant: the accuracy, completeness, or currency of AI-generated content; that AI systems will produce consistent, unbiased, or impartial output; that AI output about the user's profile or Reflection accurately represents that person; or that AI systems will operate in accordance with the purposes stated in this Agreement under all circumstances.

§4.6.4 User responsibility: using AI output for important decisions without verification or critical evaluation is not recommended. The User accepts responsibility for consequences arising from relying on AI-generated content without independent verification. This responsibility covers medical, financial, legal, psychological, or personal decisions.

§4.6.5 Disclaimer regarding AI service availability: the Developer reserves the right to modify, restrict, or discontinue AI features at any time, for reasons including security, legal compliance, or technical necessity. Availability of any particular AI model or feature is not guaranteed.

The Developer may, via a central configuration, remotely and instantly disable AI-powered features — temporarily or permanently — in cases such as security risk, suspected abuse, or a legal-compliance requirement. This mechanism does not process or transmit any personal data belonging to the user; it only controls whether the relevant feature is on or off.

§4.6.6 Third-party AI providers: language models used in the App belong to third-party providers and are subject to those providers' own terms of use and policies. Except to the extent attributable to the Developer's own negligence, the Developer cannot be held liable for outcomes arising from third-party AI models' behavior, output quality, or changes to those models.

§4.6.7 Associative-thinking mode and increased hallucination risk: the App offers an optional "associative thinking" mode. When enabled, the system draws stronger and broader connections between topics than usual when generating responses; this may produce more creative and original results, but may also increase the likelihood of irrelevant or reality-disconnected connections. By enabling this mode, the user accepts that the hallucination risk defined in §4.6.2 may be higher than normal. The Developer gives no additional guarantee as to the accuracy or consistency of output produced in this mode.

§4.6.8 Balance Indicator — disclaimer and legal notice: the Balance Indicator is a purely subjective, experimental self-reflection tool generated by AI analysis of data the user shares in-app. Results produced by this feature carry no scientific, psychological, sociological, political, or ideological diagnostic, classificatory, evaluative, advisory, or authoritative status, and cannot be interpreted as such.

The generated position estimate and analysis text are a probabilistic inference produced by the AI model; no guarantee of certainty, accuracy, or completeness is given. AI systems may produce erroneous, incomplete, or misleading results (hallucination). Generation Network and related parties give no express or implied warranty as to the accuracy, currency, or fitness for any purpose of this feature's output.

This feature is not intended to place, label, or judge users under any political, ideological, religious, or social category. Results are only a suggestion for the user's own self-awareness and cannot be assessed as "correct" or "ideal" against any reference norm.

Use of this feature is entirely optional (opt-in) and is enabled only with the user's explicit consent. The user may not hold Generation Network liable for any personal, social, legal, financial, or other decision made based on this tool's results. Sharing results with third parties is entirely the user's own choice and responsibility. Generation Network reserves the right to modify, or temporarily or permanently disable, this feature without prior notice.

§4.6.8-A Generation Encyclopedia — disclaimer and separate explicit-consent notice: the Generation Encyclopedia (KP-Memory Data Science Panel) is a purely experimental statistics/self-reflection tool generated by AI analysis of the user's KP-Memory records, offering a sentiment-tone score, latent themes, an entropy/polarization score, and "inconsistency" findings. The panel also displays, without recalculating it, the political/sociocultural positioning score produced by the Balance Indicator described in §4.6.8 above. No result produced by this feature carries any scientific, psychological, sociological, political, or ideological diagnostic, classificatory, evaluative, or authoritative status, and none may be interpreted as such.

Because some of this panel's outputs (including political/sociocultural positioning, sentiment tone, and the entropy/polarization score) may constitute an inference regarding the user's political opinion or psychological state, enabling the panel requires a separate, purpose-specific explicit-consent step described in Privacy Policy §3.5.12-B — entirely independent of premium-subscription or Bring Your Own Key (§3-A.1) access. Having accepted the general Terms of Service and Privacy Policy — including existing consents to share KP-Memory data in other features — does not by itself provide this specific consent.

Where the user uses the "Bring Your Own Key" option for this panel, the relationship-of-the-parties and liability limitation described in §3-A.1 applies in full; the Developer is not a party or intermediary in that relationship. Use of this feature is entirely optional (opt-in) and is enabled only with the user's explicit consent. The user may not hold Generation Network liable for any personal, social, legal, financial, or other decision made based on this tool's results. Generation Network reserves the right to modify, or temporarily or permanently disable, this feature without prior notice.

§4.6.9 Archived chats and starting a new topic/session: archiving a chat or starting a new topic/session is subject to the technical principles described in Privacy Policy §3.5.1-A. The system not using previous context in a new session is a design choice, not an error or data loss. Except for the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for response inconsistency, context loss, or results not matching the user's expectations arising from archiving, session changes, or context reset.

§4.6.10 Delivery-status notifications: as described in Privacy Policy §3.7-B.6, automated notifications regarding a letter or postcard's delivery status ("sent," "in transit," "delivered") carry an inherent margin of error and are not guaranteed to be accurate or timely. Except in cases of intent or gross negligence, the Developer cannot be held liable for consequences arising from reliance on such a notification.

§4.7 — Emotional Dependency and Crisis Situations: Special Notice

The App's Reflection, simulation, and emotion-synthesis features are not designed to substitute for real human relationships, professional psychological support, or medical treatment. It is not recommended that a user become excessively emotionally dependent on AI-powered features or treat the App as their primary or sole source of support.

Where a user expresses thoughts of harming themselves or others, the App will — to the extent technically possible — attempt to direct the user to crisis-support lines and emergency resources for their country. However, the Developer does not guarantee that this referral will occur or be adequate in every circumstance, and expressly states that the App is not a crisis-intervention tool. In an emergency, the User must immediately call local emergency services (112, etc.) or contact a healthcare provider.

Except in cases of intent or gross negligence, the Developer cannot be held liable for consequences arising from the User's emotional dependency on the App, using the App in place of real relationships or professional support, or the App's inability to detect and redirect crisis situations.

§4.8 — Third-Party AI Services and Disclaimer

NOTICE: all data subject to an AI call — including data about the user gathered over time and stored on-device under the Memory feature — may be transmitted to third-party AI providers under this section and Privacy Policy §§3.5.3 and 3.5.10.

To offer users a more comprehensive and higher-quality AI experience, Generation Network may, in addition to its own local AI infrastructure, optionally integrate with various third-party AI service providers (for example, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Mistral, Grok, and similar models). The purpose of this integration is to let users benefit from the strengths of different AI models.

The AI provider(s) actually active in the App as of the effective date of this document, and their current list, can be viewed from the Privacy Settings screen in the App. For providers listed above as examples but not yet enabled, the provisions of this section apply only from the date the relevant integration is actually enabled.

Generation Network applies reasonable technical and administrative security measures to protect data processed through the system. Encryption, access control, and other protective mechanisms are used. That said, information the user voluntarily enters into the system as a prompt, message, document, image, audio, link, or similar content is deemed shared at the user's own responsibility.

Users are responsible for exercising appropriate judgment before sending personal data, trade secrets, financial information, health data, passwords, access keys, or other sensitive information they do not wish to share to third-party AI services. Generation Network is not responsible for the processing, storage, or use of content the user has knowingly shared within a third-party provider's own systems and policies.

Third-party AI services are subject to their own terms of use, privacy policies, data-retention practices, and security practices. How these services operate, their data-processing methods, service scope, and policies may change over time at the relevant provider's discretion. Generation Network has no control over the content, accuracy, continuity, security, accessibility, or data-processing practices of these third-party services and gives no warranty or commitment regarding them.

By choosing to use third-party AI models, the User accepts that the relevant provider's terms of use and privacy policy also apply. Except as required by applicable mandatory law, Generation Network cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damage, data loss, privacy breaches, or other consequences arising from content the User voluntarily sends to these services.

Generation Network reserves the right to modify, restrict, temporarily suspend, or fully discontinue third-party AI integrations where it deems necessary.

§4.8-A — Third-Party News Content (GDELT)

Headlines and links shown within the App — on the News Network page and in the Trending Sentiments area of Mind Explorer (Privacy Policy §§3.5.12 and 3.5.12-A) — are automatically compiled from third-party public sources: The GDELT Project and the numerous independent news outlets it indexes.

The Developer does not review, verify, or control the accuracy, currency, impartiality, or lawfulness of this content, and gives no warranty of any kind regarding it. Except to the extent attributable to the Developer's own negligence, the Developer cannot be held liable for any damage arising from the content of a displayed headline or from the content of the linked third-party website, which opens outside the App in the device's external browser.

Generation Network reserves the right to modify, restrict, temporarily suspend, or fully discontinue this news-content integration where it deems necessary.

§4.9 — Web4 Protocol: Development-Stage Notice and Disclaimer

The feature set marketed within the App under the name "Web4" is, as of this document, actively in development and testing, and is shown in-app with "Coming Soon" status. This area does not yet offer an operational service to end users.

In broad terms, Web4 is being designed as a next-generation network architecture in which AI agents (Reflections) can act autonomously across websites and digital services, with interoperability enabled through open protocols and standards. The concept aims to encompass Web1, Web2, and Web3 capabilities while extending them with dedicated infrastructure for autonomous AI agents.

Legal notice — Web4 development stage: because Web4 features are in development: (a) they may be modified, delayed, or fully cancelled without prior notice; (b) no commitment, timeline, or feature guarantee is given regarding features under development; (c) in-app descriptions and promotional text about the Web4 concept are for informational purposes only and do not constitute sufficient basis for investment, purchase, or significant decisions; (d) the eventual final form of this feature may differ from current promotional materials. The Developer cannot be held liable for any damage arising from the Web4 development process or from these features not being delivered on time.

§4-K — Culture Network: Disclaimer for Anthropological and Linguistic Content

The sociocultural and biological/evolutionary anthropology, language evolution and etymology content in the Culture Network, as well as the anthropologist conversation, are generated by artificial intelligence; they are intended for general information and cross-cultural curiosity, are not a scientific, academic, historical or legal source, and may contain errors, omissions or generalisations. Information given about a people, nation, language community or region does not represent all members of that community; it is not designed to be, and must not be, used to judge individuals, to discriminate, or in decisions on employment, education, migration, credit, insurance or similar matters. Population-genetics proportions are approximate and do not determine a society's identity, culture or worth. Borders and names on the map are for display only. The "If you had been born there" test, the Value Compass and similar interactions are for entertainment and self-reflection; they are not a psychological assessment or diagnosis. Users may not use this section to generate content that demeans a people, contains hate speech or targets a community (see the Acceptable Use Policy §3). The general disclaimers and limitations of liability in §4, §5 and §6 apply to the content in this section.

Sociocultural environment analysis: the analysis under Privacy Policy §3.15-A uses AI to estimate a person's "similarity percentage" to a sociocultural environment based solely on the limited profile data that person has shared. This percentage is not a determination, measurement or judgement of the person's identity, origin, nationality, beliefs, values or character; it may be incomplete or wrong and does not represent any community. Using the result to label, demean, exclude or target a person, to discriminate, or in decisions on employment, education, housing, credit, insurance, migration or similar matters, and distributing a screenshot or its content outside the App without the person's consent, is prohibited (Acceptable Use Policy §3.2, §3.7 and §5-A). The user who starts the analysis is solely responsible for how they use the result; except for the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for decisions taken on the basis of the analysis result or their consequences.

§4-L — Letter Writing Labels and Letter-Writing Support: Disclaimer

The writing labels attached to letters (Privacy Policy §3.7-G) are an automatic, heuristic and error-prone assessment. The Developer does not guarantee that a label is correct, that every paste or use of AI will be detected, or that a text without a label was written by a human; except for the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damage arising from a label being wrong, not shown or delayed. Recipients should treat a label as information only, not as proof or as a judgement about the sender; accusing, harassing or exposing a user on the basis of a label alone is prohibited. Any attempt to circumvent, hide, alter or falsify the labels — including a modified client, automated typing (typing-simulation) tools or interference from outside the App — violates the Acceptable Use Policy (§3.7) and may lead to restriction of the account.

The AI suggestions in letter-writing support are only an aid; they are not advice, therapy or professional counselling (§4.6, §4.7). The sender alone is responsible for the content and tone of the letter, its effect on the recipient and its consequences (§5.6). Adding AI output to your letter means you assume responsibility for the accuracy of that output and for the consequences of sending it.

§5 Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND ALL SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." THE COMPANY GIVES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

  • Any warranty that the App will operate uninterrupted, error-free, or securely;
  • Any warranty that errors will be corrected;
  • Any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability;
  • Any warranty of accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI-generated content;
  • Any warranty that the App will function identically on every device and OS version.

§5.3 — Unexpected and Unforeseeable Technical Conditions: Additional Disclaimer

Due to the nature of the Synthetic Cortex architecture and the intensive on-device cognitive processing it performs, the following technical conditions may occasionally occur. The Developer cannot be held liable for disruptions arising from them:

  • Device heating: continuous on-device operation of SNN layers, DMN processing, and embedding calculations may cause above-normal device heating, which may trigger OS-level throttling.
  • Performance slowdown: response times may lengthen as memory systems grow over time, the vector database expands, or depending on the device's overall load.
  • Data bloat: if episodic memory, vector records, or log files exceed device storage capacity over prolonged use, the system may apply automatic cleanup ("homeostatic forgetting"); certain data may be permanently deleted in this process.
  • Synchronization errors: learning data being processed may be lost if an app session ends unexpectedly.
  • Older-device incompatibility: on hardware predating 2019, SNN and other intensive processing layers may cause lag, crashes, or battery-drain issues; the relevant modules can be disabled from app settings on such devices.
  • "Wake Up" and background warm-up processes: see Privacy Policy §9.6. Battery consumption and device resource use may temporarily increase during these operations.

The Developer cannot be held liable for data loss, service interruption, or reduced device performance arising from these technical conditions. The User uses the App knowing and accepting these technical realities. Rights under mandatory applicable consumer law are reserved.

§5.4 — System Performance and Capacity Limits

The Developer does not commit to continuously maintaining any particular performance level for the App or the Synthetic Cortex architecture. Growth in user numbers, server load, third-party API constraints, network conditions, or model updates may temporarily affect service quality. For long-term service interruptions affecting paying users, beyond scheduled maintenance, the rights under Subscription Terms §9 are reserved.

The User uses the App entirely at their own discretion and risk.

Consumer rights reserved: rights that cannot be lawfully waived under Turkish consumer legislation (Law No. 6502), EU consumer directives (Directive 2019/770), or US state consumer-protection laws fall outside the scope of this warranty disclaimer.

§5.2 — Local Encryption and Backup Risk: Additional Disclaimer

While storing App data encrypted on-device is a security layer the Developer provides, the Developer cannot be held liable for security breaches arising from factors within the user's control — such as the key being present alongside encrypted data in a backup medium, physical seizure of the device, or exploitation of OS security vulnerabilities. Detailed explanation is set out in Privacy Policy §9.

§5.5 — No Guarantee for Data-Sharing Features; Mandatory User Caution

As detailed in Privacy Policy §3.6-C, every feature that transmits or exposes User data to another user, a third-party provider, or the Developer's temporary infrastructure — including KP-Memory/Reflection sharing, life stories/memories/Encyclopedia entries, the Community Wall, letters, Broadcast Letter, Telegraph, SMS-like messaging, steganographic images, and Reflection Hosting — is provided on a best-effort basis only. The Developer applies commercially reasonable technical and administrative measures and will always make its best effort, but does not guarantee that these features will be free of error, interruption, unauthorized access, technical failure, human error, third-party misconduct, or data loss, alteration, duplication, or exposure beyond the intended recipient. Problems of this kind may occur despite the Developer's best efforts, for reasons within or outside the Developer's reasonable control.

The User must decide what to share, and with whom, within the App with this residual risk in mind. The User must never submit critical or high-risk information through any feature of the App — including, without limitation, national identity numbers, passport numbers, home addresses, financial account/card/IBAN details, passwords or other access credentials, private keys or wallet seed phrases, records of serious medical conditions, or non-consensual information about identifiable third parties. Except in cases of the Developer's intent or gross negligence, the Developer cannot be held liable for any consequence arising from the User's decision to share critical or high-risk information through the App, at all times subject to the exceptions preserved in §6.2.

§5.6 — The User's Own Acts: Content Entered, Screenshots, Copying, Sharing, and Taking Content Outside the App

§5.6.1 Content you enter is your responsibility. You alone are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of any content you enter, write, upload, or send in the App (including messages, letters, telegraphs, postcards and their hidden content, life stories, memories, experiences, encyclopedia entries, profile information, private notes, what you write in AI chats, and report contents), for its compliance with the personality, privacy, intellectual-property, and other rights of third parties, and for its consequences. The Developer is under no obligation to review such content in advance (Turkish Law No. 5651 Art.5/1) and does not create or adopt such content on your behalf.

§5.6.2 Screenshots, recording, copying, and sharing are entirely your responsibility. Taking a screenshot of, screen-recording, photographing, copying, exporting, forwarding, publishing on social media or any other medium, showing to third parties, or otherwise using outside the App any content you see in the App, that is sent to you, or that the App generates for you — including other users' messages, letters, and profile information, KP-memory/Reflection data, Reflection and AI outputs, simulation stories and compatibility scores, Perception Network insights, analyses, and all other content — is entirely your own act. All legal, criminal, administrative, and financial liability arising from such acts (including infringement of personality rights, defamation, violation of privacy, unlawful disclosure or dissemination of personal data, and copyright infringement) rests solely with you. With respect to such acts, the Developer is not the controller of your processing and cannot be held liable to you, to the person the content concerns, or to any third party for damage arising from them.

§5.6.3 This cannot be technically prevented. Screenshots and screen recordings operate at the level of your device's operating system, and any content can also be photographed with another device. The Developer therefore does not guarantee that it will prevent any content in the App from being screenshotted, recorded, copied, or taken outside the App; even where the App offers a measure for this purpose, that measure may not work on every device or in every situation.

§5.6.4 What others do with your content. When you send content to another user through the App or make it visible to them, you act in the knowledge, and accepting the risk, that the other user may screenshot, copy, store, or share that content. Such an act is the own act of the user who performs it; it is not a data breach or security incident originating from the Developer, and the Developer cannot be held liable for it. You may report such an act to us; the Developer reviews the report under Acceptable Use Policy §7 and takes action against the account concerned where it considers it necessary, but it cannot recall content that has been taken outside the App or ensure its deletion.

§5.6.5 Indemnity. If any claim, complaint, lawsuit, investigation, or administrative sanction is brought against the Developer because of your acts under this §5.6, the indemnity obligation in §9.6 applies, and you agree to cover, to the extent permitted by law, all damage, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Developer as a result.

§5.6.6 Acceptance by the act of sending. By sending any content through the App, you represent that you know and accept that this content may be stored on the recipient's device, may be screenshotted, and may, according to the recipient's preferences, be processed in AI-assisted features and transmitted to third-party AI providers (Privacy Policy §3.7-A and §3.5.14). Each sending constitutes a repetition of this acceptance.

§5.7 — Events Outside the Developer's Control, Acts of Third Parties, and Force Majeure

While using the App, you may encounter events that do not originate from the Developer. Subject to the exceptions in §6.2, the Developer cannot be held liable for the following or their consequences:

  • Acts of other users: content other users send you; harassment, threats, insults, deception, fraud, false identity or impersonation, blackmail, unwanted contact; false or misleading statements by other users; and what other users do with your content (§5.6.4).
  • Relationships formed outside the App: communication, meetings, relationships, and commercial or financial transactions you enter into outside the App with people you met through the App, and their consequences. The Developer does not verify users' identity, background, or intentions.
  • Third-party service providers: outages, failures, security breaches, policy or price changes, or discontinuation of third-party services, including Google (Gemini, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Crashlytics, Google Play, AdMob, Gmail), Apple, Cloudflare, RevenueCat, Talsec (freeRASP), and providers you choose under Bring Your Own API.
  • Infrastructure and devices: internet, mobile-operator, or power outages; operating-system updates and incompatibilities; device failure, loss, or theft; rooted/jailbroken devices or devices infected with malware; loss of your recovery phrase or backup (Privacy Policy §9).
  • Cyberattacks: unauthorized access, cyberattacks, denial-of-service attacks, or malware occurring despite the Developer's reasonable technical and organizational measures; the Developer's notification obligations under KVKK Art.12 and GDPR Art.32-34 remain reserved.
  • Force majeure and acts of public authorities: natural disasters, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, fire, energy crises; changes in legislation, sanctions, access-blocking orders, court or administrative decisions, and decisions of app stores.
  • Your own choices: the choices you make in privacy, sharing, and notification settings; personal, emotional, social, financial, health, or legal decisions you take in reliance on AI outputs, simulations, analyses, or compatibility scores (see §4.2 and §4.5); and the emotional or psychological effects App content has on you (see §4.7).

When one of these events occurs, the Developer will make reasonable efforts to mitigate its effects; such efforts do not mean that liability for the consequences of the event is assumed. For the duration of a force-majeure event, the Developer's obligations under this Agreement are deemed suspended.

§5.8 — Core Operation of the Service, Information, and Acceptance

§5.8.1 How the service works. By its design, the App relies on the following operations: (i) sharing your digital reflection and KP-memory data with the users you interact with through letters, messages, matching, and simulations; (ii) transmitting the relevant data to AI providers so that the AI features can work; and (iii) relaying communications between users through the Developer's servers and keeping the legally required traffic records. These operations are the service the App provides; without them the App's core functions cannot technically work and the service cannot be provided in this form. These operations are therefore carried out, without being made subject to separate consent, for entering into and performing the contract between us and under the Developer's legal obligations (Privacy Policy §3.5.9-B and §3.9-D); transfers abroad are additionally subject to the safeguards in Privacy Policy §5.

§5.8.2 Optional operations. Operations that are not necessary for the core operation of the service (e.g., personalised advertising, step count as health data, use of closed data in simulations, analyses based on special-category data, and inclusion of incoming messages in Perception Network analysis) are not a precondition for using the App. They are managed through separate consent windows or settings, and declining them does not prevent you from using the App's core functions.

§5.8.3 INFORMATION AND ACCEPTANCE — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and the Acceptable Use Policy are shown with links on the registration screen before an account is created and are accepted through separate checkboxes; in addition, before an account is created, an information panel is shown that explains each core operation in §5.8.1 one by one, links to the relevant sections of this Legal Center, and cannot be accepted without scrolling to the end; the time of acceptance and the text version are recorded on your device; the current texts are always available in this Legal Center. You use the App knowing that you may encounter situations not originating from the Developer, as described in §5.6 and §5.7. If you do not accept the core operation described in §5.8.1, the App's core functions cannot be provided to you, so you should not create an account or should close your existing account through Settings > Delete My Account; in that case your data is deleted under Privacy Policy §8.

This section does not remove the exceptions preserved in §6.2 (intent or gross negligence, death or personal injury, and mandatory consumer rights); under Art.115 of the Turkish Code of Obligations, liability arising from intent and gross negligence cannot be excluded by contract, and no provision of this Agreement may be interpreted to produce such a result. Statutory withdrawal and refund rights relating to paid products remain reserved under the Terms of Sale and the Subscription Terms.

§5.9 — Features Under Development

Features marked in the App as "under development", "coming soon", or similar (e.g., storyboard, film script) are for information only; the Developer makes no commitment as to when, to what extent, or whether they will be offered at all, and they do not form a basis for your purchase decision.

§6 Limitation of Liability

§6.1 — General Limitation

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, INACCURATE AI OUTPUT, SYSTEM CRASHES, DATA LOSS, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, OR ANY OTHER EVENT.

The Developer's cumulative total liability is, in every case, limited to the total amount the User has actually paid for the App during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the damage. For Users who have never paid to use the App, this cap is set at [100 TRY / 10 USD].

§6.2 — EXCEPTIONS to the Limitation of Liability: Express Provision

The following are OUTSIDE THE SCOPE of the limitation in §6.1 and this limitation does not apply to them:

  • (a) Intent or gross negligence: damage arising from the Developer's or its employees' intentional acts or gross negligence.
  • (b) Death and bodily injury: damage arising from death or bodily injury caused by the Developer's negligence.
  • (c) Mandatory consumer rights: consumer rights that cannot be lawfully waived under Law No. 6502 in Turkey, Directive 2019/770 and related consumer directives in the EU, or applicable state consumer-protection laws in the US.
  • (d) Other liabilities that cannot be legally limited: any situation where applicable law prohibits or invalidates a limitation of liability.

These exceptions are expressly and transparently preserved; no provision of this Agreement may be interpreted so as to eliminate them.

§7 Intellectual Property

§7.1 — Developer-Owned Content

The App, its source code, design, local AI models, the simulated social-network infrastructure, and the "Generation Network" brand are the Developer's exclusive intellectual property.

§7.2 — User Content

Intellectual property rights in original content the User creates (life stories, posts, images, etc.) belong to the User. By sharing this content through the App, the User grants the Developer a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use it for the purposes of service delivery, moderation, and legal compliance.

Ownership of AI-assisted content: the intellectual-property status of content the User produces together with AI (images, text, analysis output, etc.) is subject to applicable national law and the relevant AI provider's terms. The Developer does not provide legal advice on this matter.

§8 Account Suspension and Termination

The Developer may suspend or permanently terminate an account without prior notice in the following cases: violation of this Agreement or any policy of the Developer; unlawful activity or harm to third parties; behavior threatening the system or other users; provision of false information or circumventing the age limit; a request from a competent authority or a judicial order.

Automated, partial, and temporary restriction (a separate mechanism): separate from the full suspension/termination regime above, automated security checks aimed at virtual-item (Stamp) integrity may, without human approval, temporarily restrict only the sending features of an account (typically for 36 hours). This mechanism, including notice, objection, and human-review rights, is described in detail in Privacy Policy §3.9-C.1.

An appeal against termination may be submitted to [email protected] within 30 days of the termination notice. The User may delete their account at any time. For the irreversibility of this action and its prerequisites, see Privacy Policy §8, §9.7, and §9.8.

Account termination and mandatory consumer rights: the Developer may immediately suspend or terminate an account in the event of a serious breach of the Terms of Use, unlawful activity, fraud, security risk, or abuse of the service. In such a case, a refund is made to the extent required by applicable mandatory consumer law. For EU users: the non-waivable consumer rights under Directive 2019/770 and Directive 2011/83/EU are not eliminated by application of this provision; the right to a proportional refund for the unused portion of a paid period is reserved. No provision of these Terms eliminates or restricts consumers' legally guaranteed non-waivable rights.

§8.2 — Payment Fraud and Refund Abuse

A User completing an in-app purchase and benefiting from the corresponding digital content or service, and then unfairly and in bad faith requesting a refund (chargeback) through the Apple App Store or Google Play, constitutes payment fraud and unjust enrichment against the Developer.

Where the Developer detects a transaction of this nature — based on the chargeback notice received from the store operator, transaction history, and app-usage records — it may immediately and permanently terminate the User's account, without any prior notice obligation, and permanently block the relevant device (at the device-identifier level) from accessing the App. This measure is without prejudice to the Developer's compensation claims under Article 49 of the Turkish Code of Obligations and related provisions.

Attempting to create a new account from a blocked device also constitutes a breach of this Agreement and may lead to further legal measures. A User who believes a block was unfair may appeal to [email protected] within 14 days; the appeal is reviewed by an independent team.

The device-level access block described in this clause does not mean information about the relevant device is retained on the server indefinitely; the device identifier is processed only to the minimal extent necessary to apply the block, within the subscription/quota-tracking purposes described in Privacy Policy §3.8.

§8.3 — Legal Compliance and Cooperation with Competent Authorities

The Developer reserves the right to share User information (including Inputs and Outputs) with competent authorities pursuant to a court order, legal request, or the request of an authorized public body. The Developer may, at its discretion, report cases of suspected unlawful activity to competent authorities.

Verification and scope of requests: the Developer responds only to requests whose authenticity has been verified through an official channel (UYAP, KEP, or the requesting authority's official communication channels), and only to the extent of the persons, IP addresses, and date range specified in the request. The content and retention periods of the records that may be shared are described in Privacy Policy §3.9-D; the Developer has no technical access to end-to-end encrypted message content.

No promise of anonymity: the App protects the confidentiality of message content but makes no promise that communication is anonymous, leaves no trace, or cannot be traced. The User declares that they know and accept that the App keeps traffic (metadata) records under legal obligations.

Protection of minors and CSAM reporting: while generally committed to data minimization and departing from that principle only in the exceptional cases prescribed by law, the Developer is obligated — upon actually becoming aware of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), the online enticement of a minor user, or suspected human trafficking — to report the relevant content and account information to competent authorities and/or relevant international bodies (e.g., NCMEC's CyberTipline) under Acceptable Use Policy §7.3, and may retain the relevant data for the legally required period for that purpose. This obligation does not impose a general or continuous duty on the Developer to monitor or scan user communications.

§9 Governing Law and Competent Court

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey. For users in Turkey, disputes may first be brought before the Consumer Arbitration Committee or Turkish courts.

EU/EEA users: mandatory protections held as an EU consumer are not affected by the choice of Turkish law. The EU Online Dispute Resolution platform is available (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr).

§9.1-A — Dispute Resolution: Notify Us First

For any dispute, complaint, or claim arising from this Agreement, the user agrees to first contact the Developer in writing before pursuing legal remedies. Application address: [email protected] or the in-app support channel. The Developer responds within 15 business days. If no settlement is reached within 30 days, the user may proceed to the competent authority or court under §9. This pre-application requirement does not restrict mandatory consumer-application rights.

§9.1-B — Evidentiary Value of Electronic Records

You agree that, in disputes between the parties arising from this Agreement, the Developer's server records, digitally signed system and traffic records, and electronic records constitute evidence pursuant to Article 193 of the Turkish Code of Civil Procedure No. 6100. These records are not conclusive evidence and are subject to the court's free assessment. You may likewise prove your claims with records on your own device, screenshots, correspondence, and any other evidence permitted by law, and submit counter-evidence against the Developer's records. This provision does not remove or restrict the mandatory rights you hold as a consumer; the assessment of evidence in criminal proceedings is subject to the applicable legislation.

§9.5 — Mandatory Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver for US Users

The following provisions apply only to users resident in the United States.

Binding arbitration: disputes arising from this Agreement or use of the App are resolved, by mutual agreement of both parties, through binding individual arbitration rather than court proceedings. Arbitration is conducted under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules. The right to pursue claims through small-claims court is reserved.

Class-action waiver: the User agrees that claims arising from this Agreement may be brought only individually — not as a class action, class arbitration, or in a representative capacity. This waiver may become unenforceable under state laws that invalidate class-action waivers; in that case, the class claim is severed from the arbitration clause of this Agreement and proceeds in the competent court.

Jury-trial waiver: where arbitration is not selected or is unenforceable, both parties waive the right to trial by jury, and the dispute is decided by a judge.

Auto-renewal — state rules: subscription auto-renewal notices and cancellation terms are presented in compliance with California (Bus. & Prof. Code §17602), New York (GOL §527), and other applicable state laws. The User agrees that the mandatory notice requirements of the applicable state will apply.

Additional disclaimer for beta features: the Developer offers features labeled "beta," "preview," or "experimental" without warranty. These features may be changed, restricted, or removed at any time; the Developer assumes no additional liability for direct or indirect damage arising from them. This provision is of particular importance under US law but applies across all regions.

Indemnification: the User agrees to indemnify the Developer, to the extent attributable to the User's own fault, for the damage it suffers, the amounts it is required to pay, and reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with claims brought against the Developer arising from (a) the User's breach of this Agreement, (b) unlawful use of the App, (c) infringement of third-party rights, or (d) providing false or misleading information. This obligation is reduced in proportion to the Developer's own fault, and the mandatory provisions of applicable consumer protection law remain reserved.

§9.6 — Common Protective Provisions Applicable to the US, Turkey, and the EU

The following provisions apply to all users but carry particular importance for the noted countries/regions:

"As-is" disclaimer: the App and all services it contains are provided "as is" and "as available." The Developer gives no express or implied warranty. Mandatory consumer rights under TKHK Art.11 in Turkey and the conformity-guarantee right under Directive 2019/770 in the EU are outside the scope of this disclaimer.

Limitation of liability and exclusion of indirect damages: the Developer's cumulative liability is limited under Terms of Service §6. Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of Turkey, the EU, and the US are reserved.

User content license: the User grants the Developer a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to content shared through the App for the purposes of service delivery, moderation, and legal compliance. This license does not cover commercial use or sale of the content.

Bots, scraping, and reverse-engineering prohibited: collecting data from the App with automated/programmatic tools, attempting to bypass security measures, reverse-engineering, or using App output to develop competing AI systems is strictly prohibited across all regions; violation may lead to account termination and damages claims.

Chargeback and fraud protection: the unfair-refund protection under Terms of Service §8.2 applies in all regions; the Developer's rights under Art.49 of the Turkish Code of Obligations, EU consumer directives, and applicable US state fraud laws are reserved.

Export sanctions and OFAC compliance: the App may not be used by persons or entities listed on US Treasury OFAC sanctions lists (SDN, Blocked Persons), or by users in US-embargoed countries. The User represents they do not fall within this scope; the Developer periodically audits compliance with these lists.

Force majeure: the Developer cannot be held liable for service disruptions arising from events outside its reasonable control, such as natural disaster, epidemic, war, cyberattack, infrastructure-provider outage, or a government decision. This provision applies across all regions; EU mandatory consumer rights are reserved.

Right to modify or discontinue service: the Developer reserves the right to modify, restrict, or discontinue the App or any feature. Material changes are announced at least 30 days in advance; a shorter period may apply in urgent, mandatory cases. Rights of paying users are protected under Subscription Terms §9.

§9.2, §10 Injunctive Relief and Miscellaneous Provisions

§9.2 Right to seek injunctive relief: the parties acknowledge that a User's breach of the License provisions in §3 may cause the Developer irreparable or hard-to-remedy damage that cannot be cured by monetary compensation alone. The Developer reserves the right to seek legal remedies, including injunctive relief, without needing to prove damage or post a bond, in the event of such a breach.

§10.1 Severability: if any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a competent court or arbitral tribunal, only that provision is severed to that extent; all remaining provisions remain fully valid and binding. The parties will endeavor to apply a legally valid provision as close as possible to the intent of the invalid one.

§10.2 No waiver: the Developer's delay, disregard, or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on a given occasion may not be interpreted as a permanent waiver of that provision or tolerance of future breaches. Waiver of rights and powers is effective only through an express written statement by the Developer.

§10.3 Entire agreement: this Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, Sales Terms, Subscription Terms, and Acceptable Use Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, representations, and commitments on the same subject.

§10.4 No assignment: the User may not transfer, assign, or sublicense their rights and obligations under this Agreement to a third party without the Developer's prior written consent. The Developer may transfer this Agreement in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale — provided it does not materially weaken the User's rights — in which case users are notified in advance.

§10.5 Headings: section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no binding effect on interpretation.

§10.6 Export controls and sanctions: the App may not be used by persons or entities in US-embargoed countries or regions, or on the US Treasury Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, the US Commerce Department Denied Persons List, or similar restricted-party lists. The User represents and warrants that neither they nor anyone using their account falls within this scope. The Developer is also subject to relevant LLM providers' own export-control policies.

§10.7 Force majeure: the Developer cannot be held liable for disruption, delay, or interruption in delivering the Services arising from events beyond its reasonable control — natural disaster, epidemic, war, terrorist act, cyberattack, service interruption by infrastructure providers (cloud, payment, store operators, LLM providers included), regulatory change, or government decision. In such cases, the Developer's obligations are suspended until the force-majeure event ceases.

§10.8 Evidentiary agreement: the parties agree that, in any dispute arising from this Agreement, in-app transaction logs, electronic consent records, subscription and payment records, moderation-decision records, and notification records held by the Developer will constitute evidence under Article 193 of the Turkish Code of Civil Procedure No. 6100. While the App is fundamentally built on a serverless architecture, hybrid or conventional server infrastructure may be used in areas such as subscription management, payment verification, moderation, security, and legal obligations. The nature and scope of records held in this respect may vary depending on the architecture's structure at the relevant time. The Developer assumes no evidentiary obligation for records it does not hold or that do not arise given the technical architecture, but commits to properly preserving records it does hold.

§10.9 Right to modify or discontinue the service: the Developer reserves the right to modify, develop, restrict, temporarily suspend, or permanently discontinue features of the App. Users are notified at least 30 days in advance of material changes; a shorter period, or no notice, may apply in mandatory cases such as fixing a security vulnerability, legal compliance, or an infrastructure-provider emergency. The Developer cannot be held liable for damage arising from modification, restriction, or discontinuation of the service; rights of paying subscribers are reserved under Subscription Terms §9. Changes that expand the scope of data processing, retention periods, or third-party sharing take effect for existing users only with their explicit consent; a user who does not consent may exercise the right to close their account and delete their data under the pre-change terms. This provision does not eliminate the Developer's operational-change authority; it only provides an additional safeguard for changes that expand the scope of data processing.

§10.10 Notices: all notices from the Developer to the User are made via the in-app notification mechanism, push notification, or an announcement published on the website (no e-mail address is collected at account opening; if the User has contacted the Developer by e-mail, notices may also be sent to that address), and are deemed delivered upon sending. Notices from the User to the Developer are made in writing to [email protected].

03 — Sales Terms

Virtual currency ("Stamps") & one-time purchases · Effective date: October 18, 2026

Regional applicability: these Sales Terms apply to all users. Withdrawal-right and refund provisions under EU Directives 2011/83/EU and 2019/770 apply to EU consumers. Turkish consumer and distance-selling law applies to users in Turkey. State-based US consumer-protection laws are reserved for US users.

§1 Scope

These Sales Terms cover all one-time digital purchases offered in the Generation Network app, including virtual currency ("Stamps") and the one-time "Unlock All Premium Features" package. These Sales Terms supplement the Terms of Service and Subscription Terms.

§1-A Mandatory Disclosures at Point of Purchase

At every purchase point (subscription screen, one-time purchase screen, add-on quota screen), the following information is displayed visibly near the purchase button:

§1-A.1 Auto-renewing subscriptions: (i) subscription title; (ii) billing period (monthly/annual); (iii) total amount per period (all taxes included); (iv) auto-renewal condition and a warning that cancellation must occur at least 24 hours before the renewal date; (v) one-tap cancellation instructions (iOS: Settings > [Apple ID] > Subscriptions; Android: Google Play > Account > Payments & subscriptions); (vi) functional links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. These requirements are implemented to meet obligations under Apple App Store Review Guideline §3.1.2(c), the Google Play Subscriptions Policy, and Turkey's Distance Contracts Regulation Art.5.

§1-A.2 One-time digital-content sales: (i) product title and scope; (ii) total one-time amount (taxes included); (iii) a clear statement that the purchase does not include a subscription or trigger auto-renewal; (iv) a warning that the withdrawal right cannot be exercised due to the nature of digital content, with a confirmation step for the User to acknowledge this warning. This is required to rely on the exception under the Distance Contracts Regulation Art.15/1-ğ.

§1-A.3 Consumable virtual currency ("Stamps"): (i) the quantity and price of Stamps purchased; (ii) a clear warning that Stamps are not a cash equivalent and are non-refundable; (iii) notice that the balance may become invalid if the account is closed or the App is discontinued; (iv) that Stamps can be spent only within the App and cannot be transferred to third parties. The Stamp system is a closed-loop virtual currency usable only within the Developer's own app and does not fall within the open-loop-currency definitions under the California Money Transmission Act (Fin. Code §2003(x)) or New York stored-value legislation; this area is nonetheless an evolving regulatory environment that the Developer monitors closely.

§1-A.4 Time-limited add-on quota packages ("use it or lose it"): for time-limited add-on quota packages, the following warning is shown in a clear font directly above or beside the purchase button: "The additional quota in this package expires at the end of [day/week/month]; unused quota does not carry over." This requirement stems both from the Apple/Google store policy prohibition on "misleading" claims and from the full price/condition disclosure obligation under Distance Contracts Regulation Art.5/1-d.

§1-A.5 "Most popular"/"best value" badges: these badges reflect marketing preferences; whether they are based on actual sales data for a given period is not specified on the sales screen. Based on a risk assessment under TKHK Art.61-62 (prohibition of misleading advertising), FTC Act §5, and the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC), the Developer uses these labels as general marketing and they do not assert any comparative superiority claim or purport to prove one product is "better" than another with concrete data. The Developer commits to reviewing this assessment periodically.

§1-A.6 Remove-ads package: this package is offered only during periods when ad display is active in the App. It will not be offered for sale during periods without ad integration. While active, it removes all ads (Google ads and the Developer's own ads) and the rewarded-video option described in §1-A.7.10, regardless of the user's main package.

§1-A.7 — Advertising Policy and User Disclosure

The App displays ads from two sources: (a) Google AdMob, and (b) the Developer's own ("house") ads managed directly by the Developer. The following conditions apply to all users.

§1-A.7.1 Ad types: (i) native ads — small ad cards placed in designated areas of certain screens (e.g., feeds, test-result pages), visually separated from surrounding content and labeled as ads; these cards contain no video; (ii) rewarded video ads — shown only (a) in the "watch ads to earn a stamp" option in the Stamps section, (b) in the yearly gift stamp request in the Timeline and (c) in the "watch ad → earn credits" option on the SMS page, only when the user taps, and never automatically (see §1-A.7.10). The App does not show mandatory, non-skippable interstitial or pop-up ads, and does not show ads outside the App.

§1-A.7.2 Control of ad content and liability: the content of displayed ads is determined by third-party ad networks. The Developer has limited direct control over pre-approving or filtering ad content but takes reasonable technical measures, via the ad network's tools, to block ads that conflict with platform age policy and general usage rules. The Developer cannot be held liable for third-party content directly or indirectly served by the ad network.

§1-A.7.3 Data use and ad targeting: user data is not sold, rented, or transferred to third parties for ad-targeting purposes. The Developer does not directly share user data with ad networks for targeting purposes. However, integrated ad SDKs (e.g., Google AdMob) may process technical data such as device identifier, IP address, and general location under their own privacy policies. This is not treated as a direct data transfer by the Developer; the user acknowledges that they are subject to that SDK's own data-processing practices. User data is never used to train AI or sold to ad networks.

§1-A.7.4 Age limit and advertising: the App is an adults-only service directed at users aged 18 and over (see Privacy Policy §3-A and §7); no user under that age is admitted (in the account-free Under-18 Chat Panel no ads are shown at all, see Privacy Policy §7-A). Because no minor users exist on the account-based platform, the child-directed advertising restrictions found in comparable services (COPPA behavioral-advertising limits, GDPR Art.8 age-gating) do not apply to any App user by construction. Where ad-network integration is active, the Developer nonetheless configures it in line with applicable general advertising-disclosure law.

§1-A.7.5 Consent and opt-out rights (GDPR/CCPA): for EU/EEA users, explicit consent is obtained under GDPR Art.6(1)(a) for behavioral ad targeting; the user may withdraw this consent at any time, in which case only contextual ads continue to be shown. A parallel mechanism applies for Turkish users under KVKK Art.5/1. California (US) users retain the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" right under CCPA/CPRA; the Developer provides a mechanism to facilitate exercise of this right in App settings.

§1-A.7.6 Distinguishing ads from editorial content: paid ads shown in the App are clearly labeled to distinguish them from editorial or user content. Ads are marked "Ad," "Sponsored," or an equivalent label. This is required to comply with the FTC Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255), the EU Misleading Advertising Directive (2006/114/EC), and the prohibition on misleading advertising under TKHK Art.61.

§1-A.7.7 Removing ads: users may remove in-app ads by purchasing the "Remove Ads" package described in §1-A.6. If that package is not offered, access to the ad-preference settings page serves as the objection mechanism.

§1-A.7.5-A Consent mechanism and legal bases by region: (i) EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland — before any personalized advertising, the App displays a consent message provided through Google's certified consent management platform (IAB Transparency & Consent Framework v2.2). Personalized ads are shown only with consent (GDPR Art.6(1)(a) and Art.5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive); without consent, only non-personalized (contextual) ads with limited data use are shown. Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time from the "Privacy options" entry in App settings, as easily as it was given. (ii) United States — for residents of California (CCPA/CPRA) and other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Texas), use of the advertising identifier for cross-context behavioral / targeted advertising may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information; the user can opt out through the "Privacy options" entry in App settings (which instructs Google to apply restricted data processing) and through the device's advertising-ID controls (§1-A.7.12). The Developer does not otherwise sell personal information. (iii) Turkey — personalized advertising based on the advertising identifier is carried out on the basis of the user's explicit consent under KVKK Art.5(1); the transfer of this data abroad to Google takes place under the appropriate-safeguard mechanisms of KVKK Art.9 as amended by Law No. 7499 (including standard contracts) or, where these are not available, the user's explicit consent under Art.9. Users who do not consent are shown only non-personalized ads.

§1-A.7.8 The Developer's own ("house") ads: some ad areas may display ads created or published by the Developer itself (for its own services or for commercial partners). These ads are not personalized, are delivered from the Developer's server without using any personal data, and are labeled "Ad". For measurement the Developer records only aggregate counters that contain no user identity (date, ad area, and whether the event was a view or a click); no user identity, device identifier, advertising ID or location is stored with these counters. Tapping such an ad may open an external website, which is governed by that site's own terms and privacy policy.

§1-A.7.9 Ad frequency by package: the frequency of ads decreases with the user's package, as stated on the package screen (e.g., "25% / 50% / 70% / 85% / 90% / 95% fewer ads"). These percentages describe the average share of ad areas left empty compared with a user without a package; because the decision is made independently for each ad area, the number of ads seen in any individual session may be higher or lower than the average. Packages described as ad-free, the "Remove Ads" package and the "Unlock All Premium Features" purchase show no ads at all. The Developer may adjust ad frequencies prospectively; any reduction of an advertised benefit during a paid period is subject to the change-notification rules of these Terms.

§1-A.7.10 Rewarded video ads and granting of rewards: (i) where and how: rewarded video ads start only when the user taps (a) the "watch ads to earn a stamp" option in the Stamps section, (b) the yearly gift stamp request in the Timeline or (c) the "watch ad → earn credits" option on the SMS page; they never play on their own and are entirely optional. (ii) reward and limits: the number of ads required for a reward and the reward are shown before the user starts (currently two consecutive ads for one Standard Stamp in the Stamps section; one ad for the yearly gift stamp; one ad for 4 SMS credits on the SMS page); each further ad starts only with the user's confirmation. In the Stamps section, at most 6 rewarded ads can be converted into rewards within any rolling 24-hour period; the yearly gift stamp can be claimed once per year panel. On the SMS page, independently of the Stamps section, at most 6 rewarded ads can be converted into credits within any rolling 24-hour period. (iii) internet connection: an active internet connection is required for a reward to be credited; the App does not start a rewarded ad without a connection. (iv) conditions for a reward: a reward is credited to your account when the ad network (Google AdMob) reports that the ad was watched to the end and your device sends the reward request to the Developer's servers and receives confirmation. To prevent fake claims, the Developer additionally looks for the ad network's verification of the view to its servers; if this verification is delayed or never arrives, a limited number of claims within any rolling 24-hour period are approved without waiting for verification, so that users are not disadvantaged. (v) situations in which a reward may not be granted or may be delayed: the connection dropping or being insufficient during viewing; the ad network not sending or delaying its completion report or verification; temporary outages, maintenance, or errors at the ad network or the Developer's servers; battery saving, backgrounding, closing of the App, or operating-system restrictions; the user closing the ad before the end; the daily limit having been reached; or a second claim with the same ad. Some of these situations are outside the Developer's control (ad network, your internet service provider, your device). (vi) pending rewards and remedy: if confirmation cannot be obtained, your progress in the Stamps section is kept on your device; once a connection is available, confirmation is requested again automatically when you open the Stamps page, without having to watch the ad again; a yearly gift stamp request can be retried; if confirmation for an ad watched for SMS credits cannot be obtained, it is requested again without having to watch the ad again when you tap the button again. Because pending progress is stored on the device, it may be lost if the App is uninstalled or its data is cleared. If you believe you watched an ad to the end but did not receive the reward, you may report it within 30 days of the view via Settings > Support or to [email protected]; the Developer will review the records and, where a verifiable view not yet converted into a reward is found, credit the corresponding reward to your account. In such cases the Developer's obligation to remedy is limited to crediting the relevant reward; no money, other product, or additional reward is provided instead. (vii) nature of rewards: rewards are non-transferable virtual items with no cash value; they are subject to §2 (Stamps), cannot be exchanged for money, and are non-refundable. SMS credits are a usage unit used only in the App's SMS feature and kept on your device; they are not Stamps, have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are non-refundable. Availability of rewarded ads depends on the ad network's inventory and is not guaranteed. (viii) fraud: automated or scripted viewing, use of emulators or multiple accounts, or any other fraudulent viewing or manipulation of the reward or verification mechanism is prohibited; the Developer may withhold or reverse rewards obtained in this way and restrict the account. (ix) changes: the Developer may change the number of required ads, the daily limit, or the reward only prospectively and with prior notice in the App; ads already watched are governed by the terms in force on the date of viewing. (x) scope of liability: where a reward is not granted or is delayed due to the technical situations listed in this section, the Developer's liability is limited to the remedy in point (vi); this limitation does not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of the Developer, nor to rights that mandatory consumer protection law grants you. (xi) personal data: to verify rewards, the Developer keeps the verification record received from the ad network (an identifier derived from your account that does not contain your name, a transaction ID, reward information, and time) and the records of views converted into rewards for 12 months for the performance of the contract and fraud prevention; at the end of this period the records are deleted automatically (Privacy Policy §8.1).

§1-A.7.10-A Ad consent and rewarded ads: users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent for ads through the consent tool described in §1-A.7.5-A. Giving consent is not mandatory; not consenting does not prevent you from using the App's core features. However, when the ad network cannot serve rewarded video ads without consent, rewards tied to rewarded ads (stamps, the yearly gift stamp, SMS credits, continue-in-game rights, the first Bring Your Own API petition right and similar) cannot be granted; in that case the App informs you and offers to open your preferences. This is not a service defect or breach of commitment, and no compensation or substitute can be claimed for these rewards. You can give, change or withdraw consent at any time under Settings > Legal > "Ad privacy preferences"; changes apply going forward.

§1-A.7.11 How ads are loaded: to protect battery, performance and data usage, and to comply with ad-network policies, ads are requested only when the ad area actually becomes visible on screen; no ads are loaded on screens that run in the background or are hidden from the user, during resource-intensive processing (e.g., loading on-device AI models), or while the device is in battery-saver mode or its battery is low. Native ads are released from memory as soon as they leave the screen. These are technical measures that the Developer may modify.

§1-A.7.12 Advertising identifier and user controls: the Android advertising identifier is a resettable, user-controlled identifier provided by the operating system. Users can at any time (i) reset or delete it (Android Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Settings > Google > Ads, depending on the device), after which ads are no longer personalized with the old identifier; (ii) view and manage the interest categories Google associates with them at myadcenter.google.com; and (iii) tap the "AdChoices"/"Ad" icon on any Google ad to see why it was shown and to report it. The Developer cannot read the interest categories held by Google.

§1-A.7.13 Transparency of ad targeting (EU Digital Services Act Art.26): each ad is labeled as an ad; for Google ads, information on the advertiser and the main parameters used to select the ad is available through the ad's "AdChoices" icon; the Developer's own ads are published on behalf of the Developer (or the named partner) and are not targeted using personal data. No ads are selected on the basis of special categories of personal data (GDPR Art.9), and no data from the App's chat, Reflection, psychological-analysis or health features is ever used for advertising.

§1-A.7.14 Inappropriate ads: users may report an inappropriate ad through the ad's own reporting option or through the App's support channel; the Developer will use the blocking tools available in the ad network to prevent similar ads where technically possible. Consistent with §1-A.7.2, responsibility for the content of third-party ads lies with the advertiser and the ad network. In line with the prohibition of covert advertising under Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and the Regulation on Commercial Advertising and Unfair Commercial Practices, commercial ads are clearly distinguished with an "Ad" label.

§2 The Virtual Currency ("Stamps") System

§2.1 — Nature

"Stamps" is a digital virtual currency usable only within the Generation Network app. Stamps are not real money, e-money, a deposit, foreign currency, or any financial instrument. They cannot be used outside the App, transferred to third parties, exchanged for real money, or used on other platforms or apps. Your Stamp balance is not a property right you own; it is a revocable right of use/license subject to this Agreement.

§2.1-A — Balance Verification and Correction

Your Stamp balance is held and verified on the Developer's servers. Stamps found to have been obtained fraudulently, to rest on a fake or unverifiable purchase claim, to result from a system/synchronization error, or to be the result of technical manipulation may be corrected or voided to match the balance determined to be valid, without separate notice. This authority is the application, as a general principle for protecting system integrity across all Stamp balances, of the provision in §2.5.3 voiding irregularly accumulated Generation Orbit balances.

A user who disputes a correction relating to Stamps purchased with real money and based on a transaction verifiable by the store operator (Apple App Store/Google Play) may contact the Developer via the In-App Requests page or [email protected]; the request is reviewed within a reasonable time. This clause does not eliminate rights under applicable mandatory consumer law.

Legal basis: KVKK Art.5/2-f (legitimate interest — system integrity and fraud prevention) and Art.5/2-c; GDPR Art.6(1)(f) and Art.6(1)(b).

§2.2 — Purchase

Stamps can be purchased with real money through in-app purchase screens. Payments are processed via Apple App Store In-App Purchase on iOS and Google Play Billing on Android. Payment information (credit/debit card) is never held by the Developer; the relevant store operator's privacy policies apply.

Pricing: Stamp packages are priced inclusive of VAT and all applicable local consumption/digital-service taxes. In Turkey, prices are shown in Turkish Lira (TRY); in other markets, in local currency inclusive of applicable taxes. Prices may change without prior notice; the price shown during the active purchase session applies.

Right to change prices: Stamp-package prices may be changed to reflect LLM-provider cost changes, exchange-rate fluctuations, platform commission rates (App Store/Google Play), tax regulation, inflation, and operational growth needs. Material price changes are announced at least 15 days in advance via in-app notice or e-mail. Purchases made after the announcement occur at the then-current price. Amounts already paid for the current period are unaffected; the new period or new purchases apply the updated price.

§2.3 — Refund Policy and Right of Withdrawal

Purchases of Stamps, as a virtual currency, are subject to the withdrawal-right exception under Art.15/1-ğ of Turkey's Distance Contracts Regulation, because delivery of digital content begins with the User's prior explicit consent and waiver of the withdrawal right. The User is clearly informed of this by a separate notice, and their consent obtained, before completing the purchase.

Apple/Google refunds: refund requests for purchases made via iOS or Android are subject to the relevant store operator's own refund policy and process. The Developer cannot directly intervene in these processes, but users may contact [email protected] for support.

Technical error: in the event of a Developer-caused technical error or double payment, a discretionary refund may be granted following a reasonable review process.

§2.3.4 — Unfair Refund Requests

Requesting a refund unfairly and in bad faith after having already benefited from a Stamp or one-time-package purchase may lead to the measures described in Terms of Service §8.2, including permanent, device-level access blocking and account termination.

§2.3-A — Consumption of Digital Content and Refund Protection

The User accepts the following in advance: once digital content (LLM quota, Stamps, premium access, add-on quota) is accessed or consumable rights are exercised, the relevant content is deemed consumed and is non-refundable. In the event of a refund or chargeback, the relevant subscription, Stamp balance, add-on quota, or premium access may be immediately suspended or terminated. In cases of fraudulent use, abuse, chargeback, or payment fraud, the account may be temporarily or permanently restricted or terminated. Purchased digital rights (Stamps, quota, license) are non-transferable and cannot be converted to cash. In cases of fraud, abuse, unauthorized-access attempts, payment fraud, chargeback abuse, or a serious breach of the Terms of Service, the relevant account may be suspended or terminated to protect service security; access may be restricted and security blocklists created using device identifiers, network information, or other technical identifiers, to the extent necessary and proportionate, in compliance with applicable data-protection law.

The Developer reserves the right to report bad-faith refund requests to the store operator, and where necessary to competent authorities, based on the chargeback notice received from the store operator, transaction history, and in-app usage records. Rights under applicable mandatory consumer law are reserved.

§2.4, §2.4-A, §2.4-B — Stamp Balance, Categories, and Non-Refundability

Stamps may be spent on features, content, and interactions designated within the App. The Developer may change, at any time, the list of features that can be unlocked with Stamps; such a change does not affect the existing balance.

Stamp balances do not expire. However, the balance may become void if the account remains inactive for 24 consecutive months, or if the Developer discontinues the App; in either case, users are notified at least 60 days in advance. If an account is closed or terminated, any remaining Stamp balance is forfeited and non-refundable — users are advised to use their remaining balance before initiating account closure.

The App offers three Stamp categories: Standard, Premium, and Rare. Each category has a different in-app value and purchase price, from lowest (Standard) to highest (Rare). The user is free to choose which category to use for any permitted transaction.

The user decides, solely and exclusively, which Stamp category to use when sending a letter, engaging socially, or using any in-app feature. The system does not steer or force the user toward a particular category. If the user chooses of their own will to use a higher-value category (e.g., Rare or Premium), that decision is final and irreversible. Once a transaction completes, no refund, compensation, or substitution will be granted on grounds of a wrong category choice, regret, or the counterparty "not noticing" the value. The Developer has no obligation to intervene in this respect.

The App's technical architecture does not permit reclaiming, changing, or converting a sent Stamp category once a transaction is complete; this is a design choice, and the Developer accepts no refund or compensation liability on this ground. Users must choose carefully before initiating a transaction. The same rules apply to Stamps used for invisible/internal features the counterparty does not see; consumption is final and non-refundable, and claims of unnecessarily using a high-value category for an internal feature will not be accepted.

This provision is applied within the framework of the digital-content withdrawal-right exception under TKHK Art.15/1-ğ, and service-delivery grounds under GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and CCPA. Mandatory consumer rights of EU consumers are reserved.

Reflection Hosting stamp use: the 1 Standard Stamp charged to host another user's Reflection, and the 1 Standard Stamp charged for a hosted user to request early deletion of their data from a hosting device, as described in Privacy Policy §3.5.13, are likewise subject to this non-refundability regime once the relevant action has been performed.

§2.4-C — Stamp Refund for Sends That Did Not Take Place

The Stamp used for a send such as a letter, telegram, or live chat invitation is deducted from the balance on your device together with the send request. If the send is explicitly rejected by the Developer's server and is not delivered to the recipient (for example, if the recipient ID is not registered, too many items were sent in a short time, the request is invalid, or the account is temporarily restricted), the App will use reasonable efforts to refund the Stamp to your balance automatically and will notify you.

An automatic refund may not be possible in the following cases: (i) where, due to a connection interruption, timeout, or system or network failure, it cannot be verified whether the send reached the server — because the send may have been delivered, the Stamp is not refunded automatically in this case and you are shown a "delivery could not be verified" notice; (ii) outages at third-party service providers such as hosting, network, or store operators; (iii) transactions that cannot be verified against server records; (iv) suspected abuse, cheating, or balance manipulation (see §2.1-A and Privacy Policy §3.9-C.1).

Where no automatic refund was made but you believe your send did not take place, you may contact us via the In-App Requests page or [email protected]. Your request is reviewed within a reasonable time on the basis of server records; if it is established that the send was not delivered, the Stamp is refunded to your balance.

This clause applies only to sends that never took place; it does not change the non-refundability rule in §2.4-B for completed transactions. For features where the service provided in exchange for the Stamp is completed on your device (for example, generating a reflection conversation), a failure to deliver only the informational notice sent to the other party does not require a refund under this clause; you are notified separately in that case. This clause does not limit the Developer's liability for intent or gross negligence (Terms of Service §6.2). Your rights under applicable consumer law, including Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and its regulations and EU consumer law, are reserved.

§2.4-D — Stamp Balance on Account Deletion and Cortex Backup Restore

To prevent abuse, the Stamp balance is verified on the Developer's server, tied to the account's identity. Therefore: (i) when an account is deleted, the remaining Stamp balance ends without refund under §2.4-B and Subscription Terms §6-A.11; (ii) Cortex backups (Privacy Policy §9.7) do not contain the Stamp balance — the balance is not written to the backup file when the backup is created; (iii) when a Cortex backup is restored with the same identity, the Stamp balance is taken from the server record and is preserved; a balance that ended on account deletion under (i) does not come back from a backup. The user is informed of this in the App before creating and before restoring a backup. Users are advised to use their remaining Stamps before deleting their account. Mandatory rights under applicable consumer law are reserved.

§2.5 Earning Free Stamps — the Generation Orbit Game

The App may, during certain periods, offer users the opportunity to earn free Stamps through an in-app event called "Generation Orbit." This system is subject to the following conditions.

§2.5.1 — Reward Table (Current Period)

Generation Orbit operates a cumulative-score-based reward system. Rewards are granted based on the highest score a user reaches in a single game session, at the following thresholds (thresholds are not mutually exclusive; the relevant reward is granted once, the first time each threshold is reached): reaching a score of 30 or higher: 1 Stamp. Reaching a score of 45 or higher: a total of 2 Stamps (including the 30 threshold). Reaching the period's record score: 10 Stamps. The initial record threshold is set at 87. When a user reaches the current record threshold, the record resets and the minimum threshold for the next period increases by at least 1 point (e.g., if the current record is 87, a player exceeding it receives 10 Stamps and the new threshold becomes at least 88). 10 Stamps are awarded each time the record is broken.

The record threshold may be reset or restructured at certain periods, at the Developer's discretion; such a change is announced via in-app notice. The reward table, score thresholds, and Stamp amounts are at the Developer's discretion and may be changed without prior notice, or the event may be fully discontinued. The Developer does not commit to the continuity of any particular reward structure.

Server confirmation and daily limit: Generation Orbit rewards are added to your Stamp balance after the Developer's server confirms the reward; if there is no connection, the reward is held and sent again once a connection is available. To prevent abuse, the total number of Stamps that can be earned through Generation Orbit in any 24-hour period is limited to 24; rewards above this limit are not credited, and you are notified of this in the game.

§2.5.2 — Technical Malfunction and Limitation of Liability

Because the Generation Orbit reward system relies on automated software processes, Stamps may not be automatically credited in cases of technical malfunction, server outage, connectivity issues, delayed score recording, or system error. The Developer accepts no legal liability for Stamp losses or failure to grant a reward arising from such technical malfunctions. The User accepts they have no right to claim compensation, a refund, or an alternative reward from the Developer where a reward cannot be delivered for technical reasons. This does not eliminate mandatory rights under consumer law but is accepted as the standard limitation applicable to free, conditional promotional rewards.

§2.5.3 — Prevention of Irregularity and Cheating

Score manipulation, bot use, creating multiple accounts, or attempting to earn rewards through any cheating method violates this Policy. The Developer reserves the right to void Stamp balances found to have accrued through irregular means, and to suspend or permanently terminate the account. Whether prior notice is given upon detecting irregularity is at the Developer's discretion.

§2.5.4 — Legal Basis and Promotional Nature

Stamps earned through Generation Orbit constitute a promotional/free-service benefit under Law No. 6502 (TKHK); they do not carry the same legal status as purchased Stamps. Accordingly, no right of withdrawal, refund, or compensation arises for promotional Stamps. For EU users, this system is assessed under Directive 2005/29/EC (Unfair Commercial Practices) and is considered compliant with the good-faith principle given the clear statement of conditions. For US users, this promotion is offered with clear conditions so as not to constitute a deceptive practice under FTC Act §5.

§2.6 Free Stamps — Timeline Era Gift

Each time an era of the timeline on the home screen (the '80s, the '90s, the Millennium, the 2010s) is completed, 1 Standard Stamp is gifted to your account without watching an ad, and a notification is shown. The gift is given only once per era per account (at most 4 Stamps in total). The gift is added to your balance with the confirmation of the Developer's server; if there is no connection, it is retried at the next opening. Reinstalling with the same identity or restoring from a backup does not create era gifts that were already received. These Stamps are promotional in nature as described in §2.5.4 and give no right of withdrawal, refund or compensation. Era durations and the gift amount are at the Developer's discretion and can be changed only prospectively.

Legal basis and retention: KVKK Art. 5(2)(c); GDPR Art. 6(1)(b). To prevent duplicate claims, the gift record (your account's identity number, the era and the time) is kept on the server for as long as your account is active.

§3 One-Time "Unlock All Premium Features" Package

§3.1 — Scope and Nature

The "Unlock All Premium Features" package is a digital license purchased with a single payment, granting unlocked access to all premium features within the App. This package does not require a subscription, does not auto-renew, and incurs no monthly fee.

Scope of access: access acquired through this package covers the feature set as of the moment of purchase. The Developer reserves the right to charge separately for newly added features thereafter; existing package holders are notified in advance in that case.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION: the "Unlock All Premium Features" package only unlocks features built into the App and marked as premium. Send/transaction features requiring Stamp (virtual-currency) spending, and LLM quota, are separate, independently billed categories not included in this package. A transmission sent to the server (e.g., sending a message/share) most often requires Stamps, but this may not hold for every operation; having LLM quota does not mean an operation requiring server transmission will not additionally require Stamps. The Developer specifies within the App which operations fall under Stamps, LLM quota, or premium access, and may update this classification from time to time.

§3.2 — License Term and Account Binding

This license is bound to the User's current account and is non-transferable. The license ends and is non-refundable if the account is closed or permanently terminated. To transfer the license upon a platform switch (e.g., iOS to Android), contact [email protected]; the transfer is at the Developer's discretion.

§3.3 — Refund and Right of Withdrawal

This product is also subject to the digital-content withdrawal-right exception under Distance Contracts Regulation Art.15/1-ğ. The User is informed of this before completing the purchase and their explicit consent is obtained. Apple/Google refund processes also apply to this product.

§3.4 Add-On Quota Packages — Terms and Non-Refundability

The App offers Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Add-On Packages to give users who already hold a subscription plan additional LLM quota if they exceed their planned quota.

§3.4.1 — Precondition: Requires an Active Base Plan

Purchasing an Add-On Package requires the user to hold a valid, active base subscription plan (Trial, Starter, Standard, or Top tier). An Add-On Package cannot be purchased without a base subscription; the system technically blocks this. If a user's base plan has been cancelled or has expired, they may continue using an existing Add-On Package until it is exhausted, but must acquire a valid base plan again before purchasing a new one.

§3.4.2 — Duration and Quota-Use Rules

Daily Add-On Package: must be used within 24 hours of purchase. Unused quota after this period expires automatically and is non-refundable; the User accepts this time limitation in advance upon purchase. Weekly Add-On Package: must be used within 7 days of purchase; unused quota expires automatically thereafter and is non-refundable. Monthly Add-On Package: must be used within 30 days of purchase; unused quota expires automatically thereafter and is non-refundable.

§3.4.3 — Non-Refundability

Add-On Packages are classified as digital content under Distance Contracts Regulation Art.15/1-ğ. Because performance of the digital content begins at the moment of purchase, the withdrawal right cannot be exercised. Quota unused due to expiration is not refunded on grounds of technical malfunction, regret, or non-use. The digital-content exception under EU Directive 2011/83/EU Art.16(m) applies for EU users. For US users, quota purchased as a consumable digital good is non-refundable once use has begun.

§3.4.4 — LLM Quota Only

Add-On Packages cover only LLM (large language model) quota increases; other premium features (Stamp earnings, Synthetic Cortex quota, steganographic posters, etc.) are not included in these packages.

§3.5 Test User Gift Codes

§3.5.1 — Scope: The Developer may give free, single-use gift codes to people it invites to closed or open testing programs on Google Play so that they can try the app. The code is redeemed in the Wallet under "Claim a free gift package for test users". By redeeming a code, the user accepts this section and the App's other terms.

§3.5.2 — Contents and duration: The contents of the code are shown in the Wallet at the time of redemption (currently: the premium features of the Üst Paket (Upper package), an AI usage quota of about 1 million tokens, 50 standard stamps and 1 premium stamp). The test package does not include AI image generation. For the first 5 days the App's standard AI model is used; from day 6 until the end of the package, all AI processing runs on a lighter model (currently Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite), so the quality and speed of answers may differ. The entitlement is valid for 30 days from the moment the code is entered. At the end of that period, the package entitlements, the remaining AI quota and any unused stamps granted by the code end automatically and without notice; unused entitlements are not transferred, extended or converted into any other entitlement. Use and allocation of the quota follow the package rules in §3 and the Subscription Terms.

§3.5.3 — Legal nature: A gift code is a free promotion; it is not a purchase, subscription or prepayment. It has no cash value and cannot be sold, transferred, exchanged for money or any other product, or refunded. Because no price is paid, the withdrawal and refund provisions (§2.3) do not apply. Redeeming a code places no obligation on the user to make a paid purchase, and it does not renew automatically at the end of the period.

§3.5.4 — Single use and abuse prevention: Each code can be used only once. An account and a device can use at most one test code; even if the account is deleted and recreated, a second code cannot be used on the same device. Failed attempts are rate-limited. If a code is sold, shared publicly, tried with automated tools, used with multiple accounts or otherwise abused, the Developer may cancel the code and the related entitlements without prior notice. If the account is deleted, the entitlements end at that moment under the waiver-of-rights rule in the Terms of Use.

§3.5.5 — Changes to the program: The codes expire on December 31, 2026; unused codes are invalid after that date. The Developer may change the testing program or the contents or number of codes going forward, or end the program; the duration of a code that has already been redeemed is not shortened for this reason, except in cases of abuse.

§3.5.6 — Test builds and liability: Builds in the testing program are unreleased versions that may contain errors; features may change or temporarily not work. A gift code does not create any service-level commitment. The Developer's liability is subject to the limitations in the Terms of Use; rights under mandatory law remain unaffected.

§3.5.7 — Feedback: Feedback, suggestions and bug reports sent by a test user may, to the extent they do not contain personal data, be used by the Developer free of charge and without time limit to improve the App. Giving feedback is not a condition for redeeming a code.

§3.5.8 — Personal data: When a code is redeemed, the code, the account ID number, a device verification digest (hash) and the time of redemption are stored on the server. The purpose is to keep each code single-use and to prevent abuse (KVKK Art.5/2-c and f; GDPR Art.6(1)(b) and (f)). These records are kept for at most 12 months after the testing program ends and then deleted; see the Privacy Policy for details.

04 — Subscription Terms

Generation Network Premium Subscriptions · Effective date: October 18, 2026

§1 Scope and Parties

These Subscription Terms govern the commercial and legal relationship between Baran Akyol, acting as an individual App Developer ("the Developer"), and users ("Subscribers") who purchase any of the recurring premium subscription plans offered in the Generation Network app. This document is an integral part of the Terms of Service and Sales Terms; in case of conflict, these Subscription Terms take priority on subscription-specific matters.

§2 Subscription Plans and Pricing

§2.1 Available plans: the Developer may offer one or more premium subscription plans ("Plans"), billed monthly and/or annually. Current Plan contents, prices, and features can be viewed on the App's subscription screen. Plans and their contents may be changed with prior notice.

§2.2 Pricing and tax: all subscription prices are shown inclusive of VAT (20%) in Turkey and applicable local digital-service taxes in other markets. The relevant store operator (Apple for iOS, Google for Android) may determine the final price; in that case, the price shown on the store screen governs.

§3 Payment Infrastructure

Subscription payments are processed exclusively through in-app-purchase infrastructure: Apple App Store In-App Purchase on iOS, Google Play Billing on Android. Accordingly: payment information (card or store payment method) is never seen or stored by the Developer; invoices and receipts are issued and delivered by the relevant store operator; for payment-related technical issues, users are advised to first contact Apple Support (support.apple.com) or Google Play Support (support.google.com/googleplay).

Purchase history and receipts: (i) the official document belongs to the store — for purchases made through Google Play or the Apple App Store, the store collects the payment; receipts, invoices, or other documents issued by the store are sent by the store to the e-mail address linked to your store account. The Developer does not issue these documents and does not receive your e-mail address. You can view your Google Play orders at play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory. (ii) in-app purchase history — the "Purchase history" page in Settings and the Wallet is an informational list built from your verified purchase records on the Developer's server (product, date, store order number, and the amount and currency reported by the store); it is not an invoice, receipt, or tax document. Because records depend on notifications from the store, they may appear with a delay or be incomplete; the amount, currency, or refund status may not be shown in this list. If this list differs from the store's record, the store's record prevails. (iii) refunds and disputes — refund requests and payment disputes are subject to the store's own rules and deadlines (Google Play refund policy: support.google.com/googleplay); when contacting the Developer, it is enough to give your order number (on Google Play it starts with GPA.). A refund approved by the store ends the related package or product entitlement (§2.4 applies). (iv) scope of responsibility — errors in charging, billing, tax calculation, and sending receipts are the store's responsibility; the Developer's obligation in this respect is limited to granting in the App the entitlement that corresponds to a verified purchase. This limitation does not affect the rights granted to you by mandatory consumer law.

§4 Auto-Renewal Mechanism

§4.1 Renewal principle: subscriptions renew automatically at the end of the selected period (monthly or annual) unless cancelled by the Subscriber. The renewal fee is automatically charged to the account's linked payment method at least 24 hours before the end of the current period — per Apple's and Google's store rules. This is carried out by the relevant store operator, not the Developer.

§4.2 Pre-renewal notice: for annual subscriptions, the Developer aims to send a reminder via in-app notice and/or e-mail at least 7 days before the period ends. Apple's and Google's own store notifications may also apply during this process. For monthly subscriptions, pre-renewal notice is provided by Apple's/Google's own systems.

§4.3 Failed payment: if payment cannot be collected on the renewal date (insufficient balance, card change, etc.), the store operator may retry the transaction under its applicable retry policy. If payment fails, the subscription may be suspended or cancelled; the Subscriber may then renew the subscription from their store account.

§5 Cancellation Process

§5.1 How to cancel: subscription cancellation is done only through the following store menus; there is no need to e-mail the Developer, call customer support, or fill out any form: Apple (iOS): Settings > [Your Apple ID] > Subscriptions > Generation Network > Cancel Subscription. Google (Android): Google Play app > Account icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Generation Network > Cancel. This cancellation path is designed to comply with the easy-cancellation obligations under the US FTC's "Click-to-Cancel" Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 425), the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), and Turkey's Distance Contracts Regulation. Cancellation can be completed in a single step, without additional barriers, confirmation loops, or customer-service steps.

§5.2 Effect of cancellation: cancellation ensures the subscription ends at the close of the current billing period. Premium access continues until the end of the period. Once the period ends, the subscription reverts to a free plan (if any) or premium features are disabled.

Auto-renewal notice (state/country-specific additional obligations): under California (Bus. & Prof. Code §17602) and other applicable US state laws, the user is warned in advance, via e-mail or in-app notice, of the renewal date, amount, and cancellation method before a subscription renews. For EU users, auto-renewal terms are clearly presented pre-contractually under Directive 2011/83/EU. For Turkish users, renewal notice is given under TKHK Art.48. The user may cancel the subscription at any time before the next renewal period, via in-app settings or the relevant store (App Store/Google Play).

Refund of the remaining period: no partial refund is given for the remaining subscription period after cancellation. The Subscriber continues to have service access until the end of the period, meaning full service was delivered for the amount paid. Exception: a store-initiated refund may be available under Apple's or Google's own refund policy.

§6 Price Changes

Subscription prices may be changed to reflect LLM-provider cost changes, platform commission rates, exchange-rate fluctuations, inflation, tax regulation, and operational growth needs. In the event of a price increase, current Subscribers are notified at least 30 days in advance via in-app notice and/or e-mail. If the User does not cancel after notice, they are deemed to have accepted the new price. Rights under EU Directive 2019/770 are reserved for EU users.

§6-A — Subscription Services: Nature of LLM Capacity, Third-Party Variability, Usage Limits and No-Warranty Notice

§6-A.1 Price is subject to third-party-driven variability: subscription and add-on-package prices depend not only on the Developer's internal policies but also on the pricing, licensing, and quota policies of third-party service providers outside the Developer's direct control — in particular large-language-model/LLM API providers, cloud-infrastructure operators, and distribution platforms. Changes in these third parties' fee structures, API access terms, or cost models — which may occur without prior notice — can directly affect subscription prices or service scope. The user accepts use of the service knowing that subscription prices and service scope may change based on the above external factors arising from commercial and technical developments outside the Developer's control.

§6-A.2 Nature of LLM capacity — no numerical commitment: expressions used on the package screens such as "LLM capacity suited to everyday use" or "higher LLM capacity" are relative and qualitative descriptions. No package commits to a specific number of messages, requests, words, characters or tokens. For each billing period, every package has an internal usage budget determined on the basis of the actual processing cost paid to the third-party AI provider. The Developer's only commitment in this respect is relative ordering: within the same period, the internal budget of a higher package may not be lower than that of a lower package. The actual amount of processing achievable with the same budget varies with message and context length, the features used (e.g. web search, long text/book generation, image generation), the intensity of background processing, caching, and the provider's current pricing. Internal budget amounts are not disclosed, in order to prevent abuse and security risks; usage is shown to the Subscriber in the app as a percentage. Percentages and estimates shown in the app are informational; the Developer's server records are authoritative.

§6-A.3 Provider pricing and model changes: AI providers may change their prices, models, model versions and terms of use unilaterally and often without prior notice; the Developer may also change the model, model version or provider in order to maintain service quality, security and continuity. As long as a package's internal budget remains unchanged, the mere fact that such changes affect the amount of processing achievable with the same budget does not constitute a "quota reduction", a contract modification or defective performance; it is an ordinary variability inherent in the nature of the service, disclosed and accepted at the time of purchase.

§6-A.4 Material changes to the Subscriber's detriment and notice: if the Developer reduces, to the Subscriber's detriment, a package's internal budget or the concrete entitlements expressly stated on the package screen (Stamps, SMS credits, number of image generations, feature access), the Subscriber is notified at least 15 days in advance via in-app notice and/or e-mail. The Subscriber may cancel the subscription free of charge before the change takes effect; if not cancelled, the new terms apply from the next billing period. Entitlements purchased for the current period are preserved until the end of that period. The rights of EU users under Article 19 of Directive (EU) 2019/770 and of users in Türkiye under Law No. 6502 remain reserved.

§6-A.5 Allocation between foreground and background processing, and pausing: the internal budget is allocated between direct interactions with the user (chat and similar) and cognitive processes running in the background (memory extraction, Default Mode Network, pattern analysis, content generation and similar) and may be automatically rebalanced by the system, with priority given to direct interactions. When one of the allocations is exhausted, the related processes may be paused until the new billing period starts or an add-on package is purchased. Pausing does not constitute defective performance; pending processes are resumed in the new period from where they left off to the extent possible, but during the pause some analyses may be delayed, remain partial, or be processed on the device only without AI support.

§6-A.5-A Automatic transfer between the foreground and background shares: (i) Size of the shares: the internal budget is divided into two separate portions — a foreground share (chat and similar direct interactions) and a background processing share; the ratio between the two may differ from package to package and need not be equal. (ii) If the foreground share runs out: the surplus of the background share that is not needed for background processing during the rest of the billing period is automatically transferred to foreground processing; the part of the background share attributable to the remainder of the period — in any case at least one quarter (25%) — is reserved for essential background processing (e.g. memory). In the last 7 days of the billing period this reservation is lifted and the entire remaining share may be used for foreground processing. (iii) If the background share runs out: background processing may borrow from the foreground share up to at most one fifth (20%) of that share; such borrowing is made only from the portion by which foreground usage is behind the expected pace of the period, and always leaving a 10% safety margin. Foreground processing always has priority. (iv) Nature: these transfer rules are technical operating rules applied to keep the service balanced; they do not constitute a separate capacity commitment, and any portion transferred from one share to the other does not increase the package's total internal budget. Transfer ratios and reservation periods may be updated for the security and continuity of the service, provided that the total internal budget is not reduced to the Subscriber's detriment; increases in the Subscriber's favour (e.g. enlarging a share) may be applied without prior notice, and §6-A.4 applies to material changes to the Subscriber's detriment. (v) Background spending: background processing runs automatically, without the Subscriber having to start it each time, for as long as the relevant features are enabled, and is charged to the background share; such spending is not a ground for a refund or quota refund on the basis that it was not separately requested by the Subscriber. To the extent the App offers it, the Subscriber may limit background spending by disabling the relevant features in Settings. (vi) Records: the authoritative record of the shares and transfers is the Developer's server records; the percentages shown in the App are for information only (§6-A.2).

§6-A.6 Reset at the end of the period: usage entitlements (LLM capacity, Stamps, SMS credits, number of image generations) reset at the end of each billing period; unused entitlements do not carry over, cannot be converted into cash and are not refunded. Add-on packages expire at the end of their own validity period; when processing is charged, the active add-on package's entitlement is used first.

§6-A.7 Fair use, security and abuse prevention: using the capacity through automated tools, by modifying the app (root/jailbreak, reverse engineering, client manipulation) or through direct server requests imitating the app is prohibited. For the security and cost balance of the service, the Developer applies server-side limits on request size, response length, concurrent requests and per-operation spending, and may temporarily suspend the AI access of an account in case of suspicious use. A system-wide spending ceiling common to all users may also apply; if it is reached, the service may temporarily slow down or pause briefly.

§6-A.8 NO SERVICE GUARANTEE — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: IMPORTANT: the Developer gives no warranty during the subscription term regarding: (i) that a particular LLM response quality, speed, or bandwidth will be maintained uninterrupted; (ii) that the current AI model or model version will not change; (iii) that third-party API providers will maintain their service levels; (iv) that a particular amount of messages, requests or content can be produced with a particular package, or that such amount will remain fixed; (v) that a particular feature set will remain unchanged for the subscription's duration.

The Developer commits to taking reasonable technical and operational measures necessary to deliver the service; however, except to the extent directly attributable to the Developer's own negligence, it cannot be held liable for damage arising from service-quality decline, feature changes, or access restrictions caused by third-party providers' decisions, technical malfunctions, force majeure, or regulatory requirements.

§6-A.9 REFUND POLICY — SUBJECT TO STORE RULES: refund requests relating to subscription fees are processed not directly by the Developer but through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The Developer does not process direct refunds outside these platforms, for any reason. Refund requests based on service interruptions, quota changes, or feature updates are likewise subject to the store's refund policies.

EXPRESS STATEMENT: refund of subscription fees is never provided by the Developer under any circumstances; for all refund requests, the user must contact the customer support of the store (Apple App Store / Google Play) where the purchase was made. The refund decision rests entirely with the relevant store operator, and the Developer has no ability to influence that decision.

§6-A.10 Subscription cancellation — use of the remaining period: the Subscriber may cancel their subscription via the store at any time. No additional charge is collected following cancellation, through the end of the current billing period. Unused quota, Stamps, and add-on-package rights tied to a cancelled subscription remain usable through the end of the active subscription period; once the period ends, access ends automatically.

§6-A.11 End of paid entitlements on account deletion and no restoration from backup: (i) Termination: the Subscriber deleting their own account from within the App means the Subscriber terminating the agreement of their own will. At the moment of deletion, all paid entitlements assigned to the account — the remaining time of the active package, add-on packages, LLM capacity, image-generation rights, the Stamp balance and other usage rights — end permanently without refund; no partial or full refund is made for remaining time or unused entitlements, and these entitlements cannot be transferred to another account. (ii) Technical reason — server-side architecture: paid entitlements are not kept on the Subscriber's device; they are held on the Developer's servers, tied to the account's identity number (ID), and payment verification (store → payment infrastructure provider → Developer server) takes place only on the server. The account deletion request causes the server to close these entitlements and record the time of closure. A Cortex backup (Privacy Policy §9.7) carries only the data on the device and carries no paid entitlements; therefore, even if the account is later brought back from a backup with the 12-word recovery phrase and the ID, entitlements that ended at deletion are not reopened or refunded. (iii) The store subscription must be cancelled separately: deleting the account from within the App does NOT cancel a Google Play or App Store subscription. To stop renewal charges, the Subscriber must cancel the subscription through the relevant store before deleting; after cancelling, the Subscriber may keep using their entitlements until the end of the period under §6-A.10 and delete the account once the period ends. A renewal that takes place in the store after deletion opens entitlements for that new period in the normal way if the same identity is brought back. (iv) Notice and consent: before confirming account deletion, the Subscriber is shown a separate warning clearly stating these consequences and cannot proceed with deletion without personally ticking a checkbox that is not pre-ticked. (v) Reserved rights: this clause does not limit rights that applicable consumer law (Turkish Law No. 6502 and its regulations, EU consumer law) grants on a mandatory basis and that cannot be excluded by contract, the store operator's own refund policies (§6-A.9), or the Developer's liability for intent or gross negligence (Terms of Service §6.2). Payment and accounting records are retained after account deletion for the statutory retention periods (Privacy Policy §8).

IMPORTANT: even if a subscription is cancelled, unused quota, Stamps, and add-on-package rights tied to it do not expire and remain usable until the end of the active subscription period. Once the period ends, unused quota automatically becomes void; the Developer does not provide any additional refund or compensation for this.

§7 — Upgrading and Downgrading Plans

Switching from a monthly to an annual plan, or to a different plan tier ("upgrade" or "downgrade"), is done through the relevant store operator's subscription-management mechanism.

Upgrade: the remaining period is calculated proportionally at the time of upgrade and credited toward the new plan (subject to Apple's and Google's own rules and practices).

Downgrade: a downgrade generally takes effect at the next renewal period; the higher-tier plan may continue for the remainder of the current period.

The Developer has no direct authority to intervene in these calculations; final billing is managed by the store operator.

§8 — No Free Trial

Current subscription plans do not offer a free-trial period. The first period's fee is charged as soon as the subscription starts. If the Developer chooses to offer a trial period in the future, this will be clearly stated on the subscription screen with disclosure compliant with applicable law.

§9 Service Termination and Subscriber Protection

§9.1 Notice obligation: if the Developer decides to permanently close the Generation Network service, or to discontinue an existing subscription plan, active Subscribers will be notified at least 60 days in advance via in-app notice and e-mail. This period is designed to give Subscribers reasonable time to back up their data and transition to alternatives.

§9.2 Proportional refund commitment: if the Developer permanently closes the App or discontinues the relevant subscription plan, it commits to acting in good faith to provide a proportional refund for active Subscribers' unused remaining subscription period. This refund is subject to technical constraints arising from the Apple or Google IAP infrastructure and the relevant store operator's refund policy.

This commitment does not cover service interruptions arising from causes outside the Developer's control (force majeure, legal obligation, technical impossibility, etc.) and does not constitute an absolute guarantee.

§9.3 Partial service interruptions: no proportional refund is given for temporary interruptions arising from planned maintenance, updates, or Developer-caused technical issues; however, if an interruption exceeds 72 hours, the Developer may, in good faith, consider an appropriate extension or compensatory measure.

§10 Governing Law and Relationship to Store Rules

These Subscription Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey. However, obligations arising from Apple App Store and Google Play store rules — particularly regarding refund, cancellation, and billing processes — take precedence over these Terms; in case of conflict, the relevant store rule applies.

EU users: mandatory consumer rights under Directive 2019/770 remain valid regardless of the choice of governing law. US (California) users: non-waivable rights under CPRA are reserved.

§10.A Dispute Resolution: Notify Us First

The user agrees to first contact the Developer in writing about any dispute, complaint, or claim arising from this Agreement, the App, or the services provided. This requirement does not eliminate legal-recourse rights — it is intended only to encourage amicable resolution and avoid unnecessary litigation.

§10.A.1 How to apply: a complaint or request must be submitted in detail to [email protected] or the in-app support channel, including the user's account name/e-mail, a clear description of the dispute, the requested resolution, and any supporting documents.

§10.A.2 Response time and process: the Developer provides a written response within 15 business days of receiving the application. This period may extend to 30 business days where missing information or technical review is required; the user is informed in that case.

§10.A.3 Where no resolution is reached: if the parties cannot reach agreement within 30 days of the response, the user may pursue legal remedies. For users in Turkey, the Consumer Arbitration Committee and Consumer Court; for EU users, the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr) and the competent Member State court; for US users, the arbitration process under §9.5 of the Terms of Service, are the priority avenues. This pre-application requirement does not restrict the direct-application rights available under EU and Turkish consumer law.

05 — Acceptable Use & Content Policy

Generation Network (code name: Genepool) · Effective date: October 18, 2026

This Policy applies to all users. Additional obligations may arise from region-specific legal requirements (the EU Digital Services Act, Turkish law, US state laws); the relevant regional provision takes priority in that case.

§1 Purpose and Scope

This Policy is designed to ensure the Generation Network app is used safely, respectfully, and lawfully. It is an integral part of the Terms of Service; violation may lead to account suspension or permanent termination. Serious violations are reported to legal authorities immediately.

§2 Content Responsibility — Core Principle

Generation Network is a platform that lets users create content, share it, and interact. Legal, ethical, and societal responsibility for content shared on the platform rests with the user who creates and publishes it. The Developer has no obligation to pre-screen, approve, or correct user content. This mirrors the standard liability model of platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and comparable social platforms.

This principle also applies to life stories, personal experiences, memories, and other personal content users share. Sharing content about, or containing information regarding, a third party is the User's own responsibility, provided it does not infringe that person's rights or privacy.

§3 Prohibited Conduct and Content

§3.1 — Harassment and Bullying

Threatening, intimidating, demeaning, persistently disturbing, or frightening another user is strictly prohibited. This includes repeated unwanted contact, non-consensual sharing of personal information ("doxxing"), and coordinated harassment campaigns.

§3.2 — Hate Speech and Discrimination

Content that demeans, incites violence against, or dehumanizes individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics is prohibited.

§3.3 — Unlawful Content and Activity

Producing, sharing, or facilitating the distribution of content that violates applicable national or international law is prohibited. This includes content related to drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering, fraud, identity theft, and cybercrime. Using the App's communication features — including letters, telegraphs, SMS, postcards, steganography, and chat — to commit or incite crime, to communicate within a criminal or terrorist organization, to plan offences, or to destroy or conceal evidence is strictly prohibited. Where such use is detected, the account is permanently terminated and the related records are preserved for transmission to competent authorities (see Privacy Policy §3.9-D).

§3.4 — Non-Consensual Use of Identity and Likeness

Sharing, impersonating, or using another person's photo, voice, identity, or biographical information without their explicit consent is prohibited. Creating digital avatars or copies of real people without their consent also falls within this prohibition.

§3.5 — Disinformation and Misleading Content

Deliberate misinformation, manipulative disinformation campaigns, content designed to deceive other users, and presenting fictional information as fact are prohibited.

§3.6 — Intellectual Property Infringement

Sharing or copying copyrighted content (music, images, written works, etc.) without the rights holder's permission is prohibited.

§3.7 — Circumventing Writing Labels and Misusing Analysis Results

Using a modified client, automated typing tools or similar methods to circumvent, hide or falsify letter writing labels (Privacy Policy §3.7-G), and using sociocultural environment analysis results (Privacy Policy §3.15-A) to label, demean, exclude or target a person or community or to discriminate against them, is prohibited.

§4 Special Restrictions on AI Image Generation

§4.1 — Impersonation of Real People — Absolute Prohibition

Using AI to create images or content that impersonates a real, identifiable, living, or historical person, or that misrepresents that person's words or actions, is strictly prohibited. This prohibition applies without distinction to celebrities, politicians, public figures, and private individuals alike. Realistic deepfake content is never permitted under any circumstances.

§4.2 — Sexual or Obscene Content — Absolute Prohibition

Creating or sharing pornographic, obscene, or sexually explicit images or text is prohibited. No exception is recognized in any context or under any circumstances.

§4.3 — Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) — Absolute, Criminal Prohibition

Creating, possessing, sharing, or distributing content that depicts individuals under 18 (or individuals whose age is uncertain but may be under 18) in any sexual or obscene context is subject to severe criminal sanctions under Turkish Penal Code Art.226, Child Protection Law No. 5395, and international law. Such content is deleted the moment it is detected, the account is permanently terminated, and it is immediately reported to the relevant legal authorities (the Turkish National Police Cybercrime Department, INTERPOL).
UPDATE NOTE (31 August 2026): the App's own minimum user age was raised from 14/16 to 18 as of this date (see Privacy Policy §3-A and §7, and Terms of Service §2). This prohibition is not made redundant by that change and is retained in full, unmodified, for a different reason: it protects real-world individuals under 18 who may be depicted in, or the subject of, user-generated or AI-generated content — for example, in a shared photograph, a steganographic image, or a described scenario — regardless of whether every registered App user is now an adult. An App population that is exclusively 18+ can still create, request, or share content depicting a minor; this clause continues to prohibit that in absolute terms and is unaffected by, and independent of, the App's own account-eligibility age.

§4.4 — Violent and Hate-Inciting Imagery

Creating images that glorify or incite violence, torture, inhumane treatment, or hate speech is prohibited.

§5 Rules for Life Stories, Posts, and Personal Content

Users can share life stories, memories, journal entries, and personal content as posts within the App. The rules for this feature are:

  • Rights of real people: shares must not infringe real people's personality rights, privacy, or reputation. Sharing others' real personal information (name, address, phone number, etc.) without their consent is prohibited.
  • Accuracy statement: the user is responsible for the accuracy of content based on their own experiences. The App has no obligation to verify user content.
  • Third-party data: disclosing private information about a third party named in a share, without that person's explicit consent, both violates this Policy and may have legal consequences under KVKK/GDPR.
  • Content ownership and liability: all legal liability for shared content — including copyright infringement, defamation, libel, and privacy violations — rests with the user who created and published it.

§5-A Handling of Another User's Shared Personality/Digital-Copy Data

As described in Privacy Policy §3.7-A, sending a letter with the relevant sharing consent enabled transmits a summary of the sender's Digital Copy Brain (personality/life-summary) data to the recipient, where it is then stored on the recipient's device. Separately, the Reflection Hosting feature described in Privacy Policy §3.5.13 allows a user to temporarily host a copy of another user's Reflection data on their own device.

While this is not, in itself, a violation subject to sanction under this Policy, the Developer expects users who receive or host another person's personality/character data through these features to treat it with the same care, respect, and discretion they would want applied to their own data. In particular, users are encouraged not to: extract, republish, or redistribute another user's received personality/character summary outside the App; use it to impersonate, mock, or misrepresent that person; or share it with third parties without the data subject's knowledge. Conduct that goes beyond mere disrespectful handling and rises to impersonation, harassment, doxxing, or non-consensual use of another person's identity remains fully subject to sanction under §3.1, §3.4, and the other prohibitions of this Policy.

Misuse of AI outputs about other people — prohibited: the following breach this Policy and are subject to sanction: (i) presenting simulation results, stories, character inferences, or compatibility scores under Privacy Policy §3.5.7-B and §3.5.7-C, Perception Network insights under §3.5.14, or other AI outputs as true information about a person, or using them to harass, demean, threaten, blackmail, or expose that person; (ii) publishing outside the App or distributing to third parties screenshots or copies of such content without the consent of the person concerned; (iii) including in AI analysis messages and letters other people sent you while knowing that they contain confidential or special-category information; (iv) using the event editor or book-creation features to produce content that demeans, harasses, threatens, or sexually bothers a real person or makes untrue factual claims about them, and sending or publishing such content. Legal and criminal liability for these acts rests entirely with the user who performs them (Terms of Service §5.6).

§6 Steganography Feature — Rules of Use and Restrictions

§6.1 — Description and Purpose of the Feature

The steganography feature lets a user invisibly embed a text message into an image and send it to another user as a "digital letter/postcard." This feature is designed solely for creative and personal communication purposes.

§6.2 — Absolute Prohibitions

The steganography feature may never be used for the following purposes:

  • Concealing and transmitting content from prohibited categories (CSAM, violent material, hate speech, etc.)
  • Non-consensual transmission of another person's confidential information, trade secrets, or personal data
  • Concealing and distributing unlawful files, links, or instructions
  • Harassing, threatening, or intimidating other users
  • Attempting to circumvent the Developer's content-moderation mechanisms

§6.3 — Detection and Reporting

The steganography feature is structurally different from standard text or media communication: messages embedded in an image file are transmitted at the network layer as encrypted data, and the Developer has no direct technical access to this embedded content. As a result, the steganographic channel is a structure distinct from the standard message formats covered by the on-device risk-screening mechanism in Privacy Policy §3.9-B. Moderation of content embedded in the steganographic channel is possible only through: (i) technical analysis initiated with the recipient's consent; or (ii) a complaint report from the sender or recipient. Upon detection of unlawful content, the image is deleted, the account is terminated, and, where required, the matter is reported to legal authorities. By using the steganography feature, the user accepts the technical limitations of content oversight on this channel and declares that they bear full legal responsibility for transmitting prohibited content through it.

Network transmission and device-side retention limit: as described in Privacy Policy §3.7, steganographic postcards — whether attached to a letter or sent independently — are carried over real network traffic through the Developer's server infrastructure and are held there only temporarily, until delivered; the server does not view or process embedded content. On the recipient's device, independently sent postcards are limited to the twenty (20) most recent records, with older records automatically deleted; this technical limit does not affect the Developer's or the user's moderation and reporting obligations under this section.

§6.4 — Usage Acknowledgement, Transmission Record, and Report Evidence

Before using the steganography feature for the first time, the user accepts, via a notice shown in the App, that: (i) hidden content is also subject to this Policy; (ii) if the recipient reports the postcard, the hidden content may be reviewed with the recipient's consent; (iii) the hidden message and the image are not stored, but the metadata of each transmission and an irreversible fingerprint of the image are kept on record for the statutory period under Privacy Policy §3.9-D and are shared only upon a lawful request from competent authorities. The "message franking" proof generated for letters and postcards (Privacy Policy §3.9-E) makes it possible to verify that reported content really came from the sender. The server does not accept images larger than approximately 2 MB; this feature may not be used as a file-transfer channel.

§7 Reporting, Moderation, and Appeal Process

§7.1 — Content Reporting

Any user may report content or users they believe violate this Policy via the in-app "Report" button or the "Report" option on the telegraph, SMS, letter, postcard, live chat, and profile screens. The content of a private message is attached to a report only by the reporting user's explicit choice (see Privacy Policy §3.9-E). Reports are classified by violation category and routed to the moderation team.

§7.2 — Blocking Users

Users can block other users. Blocking removes the ability to view a profile, send messages, or interact with content. A block decision can always be reversed by the user who made it.

§7.3 — Moderation Decisions

Reported content is reviewed by the moderation team. Possible outcomes: content removal (with or without warning); temporary account suspension (1–30 days); permanent account termination; referral to legal authorities (mandatory for CSAM and serious violations).

§7.4 — Appeal Process

A user who wishes to appeal a moderation decision may submit a reasoned appeal to [email protected] within 14 days of the notice. Appeals are reviewed within 7 business days by a moderator independent of the team that made the original decision, and the outcome is communicated in writing.

§7.5 — Abuse of the Reporting System

Knowingly filing a false report with intent to unfairly harm another user also violates this Policy and is subject to sanction. Altering or fabricating the message content attached to a report can be detected through message-franking verification (Privacy Policy §3.9-E); such conduct may also have criminal consequences, such as defamation or false accusation.

§7.6 — Copyright Infringement Notices

A third party who believes their intellectual-property rights have been infringed may send a written notice to [email protected] containing: the signature of the rights holder or their representative; a description of the allegedly infringed work; the location of the infringing content within the App; the notifying party's contact information; a good-faith statement that the use was not authorized; and a statement as to the accuracy of the information provided. Upon receiving a valid notice, the Developer may remove or disable access to the content and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

§8 Transparency

The Developer aims to publish a Transparency Report at least once a year, containing statistics on removed content, account terminations, and legal notices.

§9 Vulnerability Disclosure (Responsible Disclosure)

A person who discovers a security vulnerability in the App should report it to [email protected] before exploiting, leaking data through, or publicly disclosing it. The Developer will not treat good-faith security research conducted in accordance with this section as a prohibited act under this Agreement and will not initiate legal action in that respect. A reporting researcher must avoid actions such as intentionally accessing user data, altering data, or disrupting the service.

06 — Health Data Privacy Notice

Generation Network (code name: Genepool) · Effective date: October 18, 2026

§1 Purpose of This Notice

This Health Data Privacy Notice explains how health and physical-activity data — classified as special-category personal data under Art.6 of KVKK No. 6698 — is processed within the Generation Network app. This document supplements the Privacy Policy specifically for health data; in case of conflict, this Notice governs as the more specific provision.

§2 Health Data Processed

This Notice covers your daily step count (device pedometer/accelerometer sensor), processed with your explicit consent. Because step count may be considered health data under KVKK Art.6 and GDPR Art.9, the Developer treats it as special-category personal data and protects it accordingly.

The estimated sleep pattern the App calculates from the hours during which you do not use the App is not a sensor measurement or a health assessment and is not used to draw inferences about your health; it is described separately in Privacy Policy §3.4. The no-sale and no-sharing safeguards in §5 of this Notice also apply to this estimate.

§4 Purpose of Processing

  • Enriching the User's digital-life simulation with daily activity patterns
  • Providing personal activity summaries (informational only — not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment)
  • Building behavioral context for digital characters in the simulated social network

§5 Storage, Security, and Third-Party Sharing

Step data is held only in the encrypted local database (SQLCipher — AES-256) on your device and is not stored on the Developer's servers. If the "mobility" category in your sharing settings is on (it is on by default, as stated in the consent window), your daily mobility summary is delivered as part of KP-memory to the people you exchange letters with — the server only relays it temporarily — and may be used in your Reflection's AI features and sent to the AI provider abroad (Privacy Policy §3.5.3 and §3.5.9-B).

This data is never sold, rented, or shared under any circumstances with ad networks, data brokers, insurance companies, research institutions, or other third parties.

§6 Retention Period and Deletion

Step data is deleted from your device with "Delete all data" in Settings, when you delete your account, or when you uninstall the App. Summaries already delivered to people you exchanged letters with may remain on the recipients' devices (Privacy Policy §3.11-B). You can request deletion of only your step data, without closing your account, at [email protected]; because the Developer cannot access data on your device remotely, it will guide you step by step on how to do this.

§7 Health-Specific User Rights

In addition to the general rights under KVKK Art.11 and GDPR Art.15-22:

  • You may request deletion of only your health data, without closing your account.
  • You may request restriction of processing (rather than deletion).
  • You may request to view the processing history of your health data.

Application: [email protected]

§8 Legal Notice and Limitations

Generation Network is not a health application, medical device, or clinical software, and does not seek any national or international certification in these categories. The step-count and sleep-tracking features may not be used for medical diagnosis, treatment, disease management, or clinical monitoring. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional for any concerns about your health.
